you did an awesome job. I really like that border fabric, where did you find it?
I am guilty on this one...I bought the flames at Joann's..$8.99 yard.

Very nice. Did you use a border around each 't-shirt'? One of the guys in our motorcycle group wants a quilt from his t-shirts, but I'm not sure what to use as a border between the jersey material.

Yes, I did use black Egyptian cotton in a 3" sashing and the middle part of the back. If you have never made a t shirt quilt before, please make sure you get info on backing the t shirts, or it will not be a pleasant experience for you! I tried to get a closeup from my original photo to show you the sashing. I am going to ask my son to take a close up view so you can see the quilting too.

Thanks - I assumed one would need to 'interface' or back the t-shirt AND create a cotton border.
I told the guy that wants one that we would have to determine how much fabric would need to be added to get a nice finish and he said he thought they could 'just be sewn together'!
