Great way to recycle old shirts, and they would be soft from many washings.

This quilt is great - I've yet to do this with shirts, but love the idea.

LOL at the deboning!! That's exactly what I did. No time to pick out all those little stitches! I didn't save the buttons though and have been told that was a crime!

Thank you for all the sweet compliments! You guys are just the best here. I can't wait to finish something else and post it here. What a great place this is!!
