[quote=Dmacc502]I just became interested in quilting. I plan to start my first quilt soon. I've been reading a lot on the subject. I have a question I can't find an answer to. My grown daughters just lost their Father, and they want me to use his shirts to make a quilt. I know this will be different than using material. Any tips?[/quo

If the shirts are 100% cotton, you have no problem. Use the shirt material as any other cotton. If you want to make a tshirt quilt using his favorite tshirts, use a iron on stabilizer on the back of the square that you have cut out of the tshirt. You can also use the stabilizer on other fabrics in your quilt that are not cotton. This helps them keep their shape. Hope this is some help.
