I third the Bonnie Hunter suggestions. She is the queen of deconstructing shirts! I think she even has a video on her site someplace to show you how. I just delivered a memory quilt yesterday using knit shirts, khaki pants and chino pants. I used the BQ pattern from maple Island. It was a hit! I quilted minimally but added some tools in solid squares and handymen phrases (lumber, nail, hammer, etc) quilted into a solid border. I was so excited to get it finished, I neglected to take any pictures! If I can get some from the owner, I will post them later.Bonnie's site is
