The main reason I chose a cotton in between was because knits stretch A LOT. The cotton helped to maintain the square shape. I think it's totally possible to just sew the shirts together, but it was just easier for me to use a non-stretchy fabric to contain the shirts. I would be happy to throw other tips your way if you want them! Happy sewing! (And I should mention -- it's a big project [about 40 hours] but it's worth the memories I recall every time I look at a different shirt.)Kelly Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042799372203770385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1316527739552168477.post-86836985695098571722013-07-18T16:48:07.530-07:002013-07-18T16:48:07.530-07:00I totally want to do this.

I was thinking of just sewing them all together to create the front of the quilt, but I like the way yours looks. <br /><a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/7543229/dava-smith-english-teacher" rel="nofollow">Follow Dava Smith English Teacher on BlogLovin’</a> DavaSmithEnglishTeacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159444913387555643noreply@blogger.com
