I've been a widow for 3 yrs now & have just cut my DH's flannel shirts into blocks for a quilt. I'm doing 8 inch Mountain Man (because he was a lot like one) and cut the pocket area into 8 inch blocks when the shirt had enough material to do it. I'd rather cuddle up to a man wearing a flannel shirt, but until another one comes along, the quilt will have to do.
