This past weekend (at an antique shop) I saw a commercially made quilt made from what resembled men's plaid & strips shirts. It had whaling ships and whales on it. Cute as a button.
Also, someone recently posted on QB, a pattern for a quilt with fish made from plaids & strips--perhaps it was called
"something's fishy(?)". I think the pattern was listed in the items for sale section.
These would be good ideas for guy quilts and use of men's shirts.
