    How about making a different type of 'Sunbonnet... Silas'? Bow tie, bowler hat... you could have lots of fun!

    All I can think of is curtains for a laundry room. It would be good for a unifying border or sash for a memory quilt of a man's shirts.

    I agree with the sale rack idea.

    It isn't terrible, but seems like something very project specific.

    That's an idea... Only my dh shirts go from dress/good shirts to work shirts to there's not enough fabric left to use for anything else. :(

    Great border or back for a bow tie quilt.

    It would make a quick and easy whole cloth quilt for a young man going off to college or getting his first apartment.

    I think it's cute - I'm partial to novelty prints. It would look cool with some red fabric made into a man's lap quilt. Great for a Father's Day gift.
