Work in Progress - T-Shirt Quilt

OK, here is a quick update on my progress on 2 t-shirt quilts.

After they were cut out I interfaced each piece to help limit the stretching during assembly.

Next, I cut 13 x 3 inch strips from the quilting cotton I chose to accent each quilt and finished the exterior edge as well.
