Great thinking! I could see this on jackets, too.

What a terrific idea! I'm with you about V-neck T-shirts. I may have to give this a try.

Thank you for looking.

Great Use of those orphan blocks and it really makes the Tee look great too.

That's a great idea, and they turned out very well. I tried something similar a few weeks ago, sewing a stray block on the front of a sweatshirt, but it was a little less than perfectly straight (trying for on point), and I added a bias tape edge around it, which was more trouble than it was worth. It did cover up a stain on that sweatshirt, which I only wear around the house in any case. I like your method better and will try that soon. Thanks for sharing!
