I've never seen that pattern for a t-shirt quilt before, and I love it! I was very touched by the comment about Emma. My heart goes out to her and her family.

Love the layout and the way you used pieces of the shirts for the border.

This is a great quilt. What stabilizer did you use? I have one to make for a niece.

I really like how you used the triangles in the corners, really helps the looks of it.

That is a very attractive quilt. Never had the nerve to make one of these.

I used a fusible interfacing for the stabilizer. It worked great! Thanks for all the comments on what I call "the flippers" All you do is sew a 2 inch square face down across the corner, trim off the outter edge at the seam allowance and flip the fabric over and iron. That makes the "snowball"
Anyone is welcome to use my "pattern". I sort of made it up as I went. The piano keys have the interfacing on them too. For the sashings, I just used a 2 inch strip of Dream Cotton. It worked really nice with the t-shirt fabric. I hope I have answered all of your questions here. Thanks for all the nice comments!
