    I saw a thread on here about using men's cotton shirts and it was a nice quilt.

    This isn't the one but this may help

    Thank you Lori :) I wonder if it is worth buying bonnie hunter's book or if I can find free info online.

    Heres my take, Think throw size,I would use only the T-shirts, cut them apart, from fronts and back cut as big a sq. as you can get, stabilize these sq. then decide what size block you want to cut from them. Do some photo transfers of your aunt and uncle and use these with your blocks.A simple 8" block w' a 2" sash and your home free.
    If you feel you must use the pant material, use a piece for the label cut in the shape of ( you got it) the pants.

    I would stabilize the shirts, and maybe use the pants for the backing? :D:D:D
