i made two quilts from a coworkers clothing who passed away with cancer for two of his daughters. i decided on a log cabin quiot for two reasons. one, he was a hunter and his clothing was mixed but mainly camo. used his dress shirts, khakis, pajamas and favorite shirts that even had holes. so i needed a scrappy quilt. second, it was hard to square after cutting outc eams etc so i wanted to get the most out of it and strips just worked! had flannel, cotton, moisture wicking fabric and fleece t work with. i walked away two weekend in a row because fabric stretched so bad. so i ended up buying the fabric cutter and it worked perfectly except i got a liitle stretching when pressing. they turned out perfect and are treasured by his children. i have some strips left and jyst found out last week his only son is having a baby boy..the first boy grandchild so i plan to make a baby quilt out if the rest. if i can post a pic, i will.
