I know a lot of people like to make quilts out of plaid or striped men's shirts. Bonnie Hunter writes books about it.
I have just never liked either stripes or plaids, I wish I did.
Coming from the sewing backround that I do, I would have to have every block exactly on straight of grain.
That right there would take any pleasure out of the quilt for me.
Do any of the rest of you have quirks about this?
