Thank you all! Here in Madrid the thrift store put everything 1 euro each end of month. Yay!

Nice job. You perfected sewing curves that's for sure. I like the plaid.

Very nice quilt! I like the applecore pattern and your color placement makes the quilt.

Very nice. I like this look with the men's shirts. I have never tried the apple core, but now this gives me inspiration.

What a cute quilt. I'm wondering though, since the pieces are cut from shirts, are they all 100% cotton or are they a blend?

I love quilts from old shirts and your layout is just perfect to show them off. I have a little collection of plaid shirts but here in Australia prices are much higher at thrift shops and I never see these shirts on the sale rack.
