Thank you fellow quilter's for validation. It was one of those scope creeper jobs. I am an accomplished patch-worker but had not done a t-shirt quilt in the past nor worked with Minky. I was worried about this layout because the non -t-shirt items where my customer's after-thought when I had already interfaced, cut, and squarely laid out the t-shirts according to a lap size, and had cut t-shirt trimmings for use as a scrappy binding, as well as had cut a cotton backing. She didn't know how she wanted them incorporated and trusted me to work them in somehow. I advised her it would grow into a big heavy quilt and significantly increase the cost; she didn't mind, then she settled on making it as large as I could. I had to now use pre-cut t-shirt bindings to fill-in the new open spots between the re-positioned t-shirt images and now use the cotton backing for binding. Therefore, it was my after-thought to use Minky for the backing to make it a truly weighted quilt which turned out to be 13 pounds. The redesign was truly a challenge for me but I am pleased with the results; tested it myself, and it is oh so comfy.
