I just got a couple of the 'Nickel Quilts' books by Pat Speth. Ever get obsessed with something? I've been getting men's shirts at thrift stores & cutting them into 5" charms. I have enough to do several quilts, but can't seem to stop. Need a 12 step program. Here in MI there seems to be lots of gorgeous 100% cotton Aloha shirts. Some look like batik. I can just picture it, you go on an exotic vacation, get caught up in the atmosphere, buy a couple of tropical shirts, get back to MI and then, hmmm, don't seem to go with the snow!
