I did Bear's Paw blocks from plaid flannel shirts. I had the BP blocks alternating with a solid flannel block. I loved that quilt! I used a 'goldish-beigey' for the alternate color block. Unfortunately, I bought the flannel shirts from a discount place. The quality seemed good.
The quilt shop solid flannel still looks great but the shirt flannel started to deteriorate after a few washes.

It was a factory store as well as an outlet. It's such nice fabric!

Thank-you! I submitted the form so will hear from them soon, I guess.
