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!

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!

I have a pretty good collection I bought over the last couple of years. I haven't decided which pattern I am going to use for them! Good excuse huh? I will get to them in time!! :lol:
I'll be watching to see what you make! :D

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.
