Im not sure about the tissue holder shirts, never seen them, going to google that! Its origami shirts. The pattern is called Aloha shirts, and was purchased at the LQS.

Wow wee you sure did those shirts proud. Great job on both. I love how you took the 9 patch and turned into special.

Sending me home with a large black trash bag full of mens' shirts, I knew I could get several full size quilts from the bag. The first picture is made from her block of choice. And the second picture is a block that I designed. The background on the second quilt is a sheet that she also sent along. The rest is all shirt fabric.

Hi,
Lots of men have an overabundance of dress shirts from years of clocking 9 to 5 at the office. But never have we seen them put to such fresh, modern reuse as in this quilt...
