T-Shirt Quilt ...Round 1 .....

This is an interesting project to work on.. I am using the fusible interfacing to stiffen the t-shirt pieces and then I make the hem binding that I handsew around each t-shirt block. This makes them very sturdy so the quilt will really last . I bought 6 yds of white cotton and that is what the hem binding is being made with . I use the iron and fold each side in under and iron..then fold over once more and iron. Alot cheaper to make your own binding for your projects.Plus you get binding the color of what you need :)  To the right and left of the quilt will be reg looking quilt blocks of the crimson and white .

Here is little closer up of how I am doing the blocks. You can see where i have ironed the fusible interfacing to back of the t-shirt block.. then i take the hem binding and place the block inside of the binding .then i simply handstitch the binding to the block. You can use your sewing machine to stitch the binding.......but i prefer the handstitched look. Once i get all the blocks done up..then i will decide how they are to be placed on the quilt and then handstitch them again..
