When you have that stretch fabric, do you have to layer a cotton or something else with more body under it just so it works?

Just thought I would jump in, having made 3 t-shirt quilts now. You iron a lightweight stabilizer onto the back before you cut out your piece to block size. That helps it to not stretch. Then you can treat it just like any block. Hope that helps.

Ditto to what Kat said, I couldn't have said it better.

I have a ton of t-shirts from a friend I promised a quilt to. I am afraid to start. You did a great job.

I have made several t-shirts quilts but NONE look anywhere close to how spectacular yours is! Absolutely beautiful! Seeing yours makes me ready to do another one but using your style! I sure hope you won't mine me "borrowing" your fabulous pattern style!

Thanks for sharing!
