What a great way to repurpose "unwanted" shirts. I just made four quilts for my sister-in-law from shirts and jeans of my brother's, each titled "Hugs from Grandpa". She couldn't part with them after his passing so I made her four memory quilts. Two flannel and two from cotton plaid shirts similar to yours. One flannel was a jean and shirt rag quilt and the second was a variety of blocks with a jeans backing. The shirting ones were a Sun Bonnet Sue and a Let's Go quilt with appliqued airplanes, trains, boats and cars/trucks. She loves them and it cost nothing but time! I think I'll try something similar to yours with the left over scraps from those quilts. Great job and great inspiration. Thanks for sharing.
