Smile Using Men's dress shirts for quilt fabric

What are your favorite patterns?
Should I use a stabilizer? any particular type or brand?
Any other suggestions?

I thought I could alternate 10" block with a four patch 10" block or maybe do something that looks like a brick wall.

My husband is changing jobs and he just bought newer clothes... cleaning out his closet and handing me 28 dress shirts (several of which have holes in the elbows so I guess the rigors of accounting can wreak havoc on your wardrobe). Did I mention he is 6'5" tall? quite a bit of fabric to work with. He was surprised that I wanted to keep the shirts. Little does he understand how much fabric costs now. I appreciate all your suggestions.
