Wow! Ya'll got that right. SE, think I have you to thank

for posting the link to Fabric.com awhile back. Was keeping my online purchasing kinda, sorta in check til then. And then, "free shipping for orders over $35". Who in this world can order less than $35 worth of fabric, ever? And the prices per yard are better than where I was ordering before. Ya'll better remember me in your prayers!

Dear Lord, please watch over our sister Blossom. Please provide her with the sanity to resist overspending her budget, or provide her with the means to adequately address her addiction so as to not place her in a position of want or need. Amen.

Hey guys, got a quick question for ya!

I want to take all of our old Tshirts and make sort of a crazy quilt with them, some of them have good memories and I just don't want to toss them out!
I'm thinking of just cutting them up and sewing together any old way, the quilt will be used for camping so I'm not worried about what it looks like really! (well sort of, but you know..... lol)

Can I just sew them together and run with it? Does it matter? I saw one thing on some site (lol) about putting some sort of fusible material on the tshirt material first? Is that REALLY necessary?

I want this to just be a simple, quick job if I can make it one!

 

[CoyoteMagic]

Everything I've read talks about using the fusible stuff. I think it's for stability of the fabric. T-shirt material stretches in all different directions.

I guess you could quilt across the design in a few areas to keep it stable and not stretching out of shape.

I've been collecting a stack of my husbands UNC-Tarheels shirst I want to do this with but haven't bought the fusible stuff as of yet

ETA--why is it after you hit the "submit" button that you think of something?

I've got some fusible batting that I've had for years that I'm thinking of using. Stability and a little extra "poofy" for the design.

Ah, thanks CM, I was wondering if that was what it was for... hmmmmm... I may just end up quilting across it.... I want to just DO IT already! lol


Oh and UNC....

(just kidding of course!) My husband is a Duke fan... me, I could care less! lol
