I was having trouble hanging clothes up in my closet yesterday, so I decided it was time to thin out the wardrobe and donate some to the local Goodwill. While I was pulling out shirts, I checked the labels on each and the 100% cotton ones went into a separate pile to keep - for a project. :) Last night, I spent a couple of hours with a rotary cutter, slashing and hacking them like a mad butcher. :twisted: Here's the stack I now have, solids on the left, prints on the right. I wonder what kind of manly looking quilt that I can make out of these now? :)

Nice! Have you read quiltville.com, Bonnie Hunter's use of shirts for quilts? It's a great site for lots of other info too.

I can see a blue, green and yellow quilt coming out of one stack alone. Also a nice scrappy soft color quilt.

Wow those are nice you can make a very manly quilt with those!!

That's a great idea! I checked the local thrift store one day for plaid flannel shirts and they had a ton. I never even thought of cotton! Time to clean my husbands closet out!

yeah, check out quiltville for sure.

I can't wait to see the quilt that you create, be sure to take pictures of the shirts before and after

Smart man!
I made my husband a flannel quilt several years ago out of his outgrown flannel shirts.

Oh Bonnie Hunter would be so proud of you! Cant wait to see what you make!

How "green" of you! Can't wait to see what you make!
