Thank you ladies.
It was a fun quilt to make. It is made from 2.5" strips. The blocks finished up around 13.5". Not exactly sure how many shirts we actually used. We collected shirts for a couple of months until I thought I had enough. When I took the shirts apart for cutting the strips, I used "only" the backs of the shirts. I tried to buy the largest shirts we could find (more fabric!) The backs were bigger than a fat quarter! I still have the 2 fronts, 2 sleeves, and cuff & collar pieces to make another quilt. I wanted lots of different colors, so if I had to guess, I probably had 10 -12 shirts. (lights & darks total) We waited and went every Sunday, it was .99 day.:) I used blue fabric that's been in my stash for years along with extra log cabin blocks from the front to make the back. No extra $$$ there. I already had the batting too. So, it was pretty cheap to make. But, now I think I'm addicted to hunting for more shirts. I love the cozy look of the plaids.:thumbup: |
what a wonderful idea for a memory quilt also. very nice.
|
Beautiful ! You've not only made him a wonderful quilt, but a memory to treasure........hmmmmm.....wonder if my hubby would miss any of those shirts that are way in the back of his closet?????

Absolutely stunning! Love the plaid fabrics and the colours are gorgeous.
