Roughly how many men's shirts do you think it would take to make a quilt?

A firend's hubby passed and I will be making a quilt for her from his shirts.

We have several designs in mind to choose from. She has about 40 cotton shirts and I was wondering if that was plenty.

Thanks!

40 shirts will be plenty. With that many you could even make it double sided. Happy sewing.

I found this site that has instructions. Not sure if this is what you are looking for but just incase.

you'll be surprised at how much fabric you can get from a shirt. I have one in my future too..I hope you share pictures. =)

I just posted this on another topic, but it might be something you could consider- only 7 shirts to make a quilt!

I can't remember how many I used, but here is the quilt I made from his shirts (last year).
