Need Memory Quilt help
 
I am making some memory quilts and most of the shirts are t-shirts.
What is the best stabilizer to use. Also some of the pieces will be
big so how do I do these.

Posted on another group earlier today, this got high praise from
members. I have no affiliation, and I have not tried this product myself.

I spent over an hour looking around at various topics and the gallery.
Thanks for that link (I think :-) ).

Did anybody mention how it washes? Does it stay fused?

Kathy, you could equalize the size of all your blocks by sewing a
sashing around each one, then cut them all the same. (Depends how much
bigger the big ones are!) With a little planning, you could use 2
contrasting sashings and alternate them. Or do sashing on 2 sides
only, as in Attic Windows.
If there's a huge difference in the size of squares, you might be able
to piece 4 little ones together to match the size of 1 big one. Or use
graph paper to plan a puzzle layout -you would probably have to make
small pieced blocks to fill in, but that could be wonderful. this
works well if all your squares are e.g. multiples of 2".
