I've completed one lap quilt from my FIL's plaid flannel shirts and have fabric cut for several more. The one completed had appliqued burr oak leaves and acorns in the corners...I used leaves from the trees in their yard for the pattern. I bought some flannel in solids and small prints to have enough to work with for several quilts, but all the plaids are his shirts and bathrobe. I included a full shirt pockt with a bandana handkerchief on the back with the quilt label...he always carried a bandana.
