T-shirt quilt - HELP!
I have read where several or more of you have made a t-shirt quilt and
that you backed the t-shirt material with an iron-on interfacing. OK!!! Since I didn't pay any attention to the type of iron-on that is best to use, would someone be so kind as to give me a clue? Please??? My daughter-in-law in Calif. has sent me a number of t-shirts that were my son's and I told her I would make her a quilt with them. Sure I will, if only I knew what iron-on to use.

I used lightweight non-woven fusible interfacing onthe backs of the shirts and then I just sashed the shirt blocks. HTH!

T-shirt quilt - HELP!
Thanks Michelle. I was concerned as to whether or not I should use the
lightweight non woven or if I should use the medium weight. Figured that the medium weight might make the t-shirt fabric a little too stiff. Don't want that to happen. Since I already have some of the light weight, I'll be able to start on it whenever I want to - like, after the holidays because I have too many other things to get done before time. And, yes, planned on sashing the blocks or possibly even setting the t-shirt fabric on point and making blocks that way. Still in the planning stage, for sure. Thanks again.
