I agree that this is a GREAT pattern to make a memory quilt from men's shirts. I'm working on some now. Thanks so much for sharing this.

I, too, saw these on Block Lotto. Yours are wonderful. Just right for a manly quilt.

The blocks are great, would look good with another narrow sashing between blocks.

Haven't seen these blocks before, but your plaid version is terrific! These have to be a "potato chip block" (you can't make just one). This would be a great stash-busting block - I have several bundles of 6FQs from waaaay too long ago that this block would lend itselt to. THANKS for posting this block and be sure to post a photo of the finished quilt!

I think this is the first I have seen of this pattern. I love them! While they are cute as a button in the plaid, couldn't they be made of any print? Your quilt will be perfect, look forward to seeing it again!
