I've been working on a crazy quilt made from very old men's shirts. I bought the squares at a yard sale for a dollar. There were 26 of them. They were smelly and stained. The first thing I did wash them and hung them outside in the shade. A few of them still have stains. They ranged from 18" to 11" I embroidered them, added cotton lace , and sewed buttons and other embelishments. Then I squared them up and zig zaged the edges. Every square has red of a sort in it. I'm going to put a red sasching in between the squares, and on the back. I,m thinking of putting a black binding on it.
