Someone on this board posted a quilt they had made as a memory quilt and it was of penguins. The bodies of the penguin blocks were from shirt fabrics from the family member (I think it was a grandpa). I thought it was really cute and an appropriate way to remember someone....

I've seen very nice looking bow tie quilts that used shirt fabrics including plaids. Here's one I found - notice how the center of the tie is aligned to have the plaid running diagonal, which makes it super cute.

While looking for a nice bow tie quilt example, I came across this cute design (that I've never seen before). I think the plaids work really well in it.

Not know how much "yardage" you will have, but I'm thinking a simple HST made of solids/plaids or stripes would look great. I would cut starting squares no smaller than 5" but no larger than 9".
These examples use 6 1/2" cut squares. To make it bigger than the 40 x 40 size, just add more triangle squares.

So many ideas! Little Lulu you should have many ideas now that can help you out. I for one love the Moda shirt. After looking at the pattern is looks like it would not be difficult to make. I look forward to seeing what you decide to do.
