Red face Beautiful Quilt!

I only used the front panel on the shirts so now I will have to come up with more ideas to use up the rest. It was cheaper at most places than buying yardage. The XL shirts have lots of fabric!! I may have to start looking at other used clothing in the future! Oh and it's super soft due to the fact the shirts have been washed so many times!
Check out Bonnie Hunter's website - Quiltville.com. She has super uses for all of the shirt yardage you now have.
