I love & completely agree with Ranchwife's comments. Think about how our ancestors just made quilts to stay warm. Now we think all quilts must be art objects. I'll bet your husband will love thinking about when he wore each shirt. I'd say keep it but then, I say that about almost all the quilts I make because it's hard for me to release them unless I intentionally made them for someone else. Enjoy it.
