The paper presents some properties of Generalized T-splines (GT-splines), which are crucial to their actual application. In particular, we construct a dual basis for a noteworthy class of GT-splines, which allows to show that, under suitable conditions, they form a partition of unity. Moreover, we study the approximation properties of the GT-spline space by constructing a class of quasi-interpolants which belong to it and are defined by giving a dual basis.
