Your looks so good. I have one to quilt today (someone else put together). If it works I need to make 3 for gchildren.

Its a beautiful quilt....have to ask the question what type of interfacing did you use? My tshirt quilt was the easiest I've ever done. Used woven cotton iron on interfacing and it didn't stretch at all. I'm wondering if you used the tricot or pellon type interfacing.

Sorry you had such a bad time but the finished quilt looks great. I just finished my 4th one (three within the last month and a half). Two of them also had pictures of the person I was giving them to. One was all pictures. It gets easier with each new one so please try again sometime.

It looks great! From experience, the first is the hardest. I have made several, all different, and have enjoyed-mostly-each one!

I'm thinking I better make sure I get the same one again so I don't run into problems.

And what interfacing did you use? I was just at JoAnn's yesterday and they recomended Pellon SK135, a sheer knit fusible-wht. It is a fusible tricot interfacing for soft tailoring. I used a 50% coupon and bought the 15 yard pkg/bolt. I used another 50% coupn for the 15inch square up ruler,
