I than do a large stipple over the entire quilt top when it is pieced together.
What ever method you use it will be beautiful!!
Happy New Year!

Wow! Is inflation hitting, or what? The price has doubled since I purchased an almost-lifetime supply 4 years ago.........

Have made 17 t-shirt quilts. Only one important thing to remember: back t-shirt fabrics with fusible tricot interfacing! Pellon makes Stacy Easy Knit. I always buy a bolt from JoAnns with my 40% - 50% coupons. Check the web for many ways to put quilts together.
