My grandson's teacher asked me to make a quilt from her dad's shirts - he died last year. I've used most of the dress shirts but there is one really nice thick Woolrich flannel shirt that I would like to use for a pillow. Somewhere I've seen a pillow where the collar was left on the shirt. Has anyone else seen it or would anyone have a suggestion on how to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This one doesn't have the collar, but is made from a shirt:

how about using the entire front. sew the top half of the button placket closed. loop the bottom of the shirt around to the top and stitch it down. then sew the sides closed. stuff the pillow through the open buttons on the back and button it up closed. does this make sense?
