    Awesome! If you have a Salvation Army near you, they often have sales on shirts for $1.00 a piece.

    What a great idea! I frequent the Goodwill shops, & the like, but never thought of getting shirts. I'll have to keep this in mind. What a fabulous board for an abundance of info & tips!

    Lots of fabric there. I've even seen some quilts that use the pockets and cuffs. Have fun and be creative.

    I did the same thing on a half-price day. I wanted to do the seven shirts quilt. Started cutting down the shirts and really disliked it, I would much rather cut from a piece of fabric. Got partway done cutting and my son said "Don't cut that one, thats too nice - I want it!" A good excuse not to keep going. Maybe some day I'll be determined to finish!

    A local thrift store here has 99 cent Monday. Each week a different color tag is featured. That can be a good deal for a large shirt. Of course a garage sale could be less but there is a good selection in a large thrift store.
