I saw a fabulous quilt made from the shirt pockets. Each pocket was sewn onto a square and the squares were sashed into the quilt. Each pocket had a piece of muslin with a good luck wish written on it! It was made as a birthday gift for a woman whose husband had passed away some years before. It was not only beautiful but clever as well. You could use it for any special occasion. Have fun with it.
