Your quilt turned out great. I have made and quilted many T-Shirt quilts. I would stich in the ditch around each of your Squares following your material design. Then in the square itself, because your quilt has a comtemporty look , I would sew ramdom lines across the blocks. maybe two or three per square. Like start at one corner and sew a line diag. to the other corner. , then about 2" from the top on one side to about three inches on the bottom of the oppesite side. You will find that quilting t-shirt material to much even with stabalizer will make the material pucker. I am sure what ever you decide to do it will be Beautiful.

It was lightweight iron-on interfacing from Joann's. It was on sale. It seemed to work great.

I made several t-shirt quilts for my son and his fraternity brothers. As some of the shirts were getting pretty worn I just free motioned in a meandering design to help hold them all together. You did a wonderful job.

I've never made a t-shirt quilt before, but I just love what you have done!
