I am working on a quilt of my Dad's shirts. I did decide to cut the cuffs off but I have used the button down portion of the sleive for added interest in the quilt. Also have used some short sleive shirts and the cuff on those! All of my dad's shirts were a men's smalll or youth large and I do have left over material that I will use in other special items later. Kept every button and they will be re-added to the quilt later. Hope to post pictures soon.
