I am finally ready to start making a quilt from my brother's clothes. He passed away almost 3 yrs ago now and I miss him each and every day. My plan is to make at least a lap quilt for myself, my mother and my sister and if I have enough, for his sons. I have VERY plain shirts to use, like turtle necks and T-shirts. He was a hard working man who worked outside most of his life so they aren't pretty but they were his and I remember him in most of the shirts. I need a very simple quilt pattern to use as I'm not very experienced and not very good at quilting. I'm thinking something with basic squares. Does anyone have any quilt patterns that might work for me? I will pretty much only have blue, red, green and white to use as most of his shirts consisted of those colors. I'm thinking I may just end up using basic squares but if someone had something that was easy and looked nice I might be able to do better! :)
