I make simple charity quilts for Project Linus. Got the idea online to look for good shirts from thrift stores to make cozy, mostly plaid or simple shirting, quilts. I don't worry about perfectly lining up the plaids. I have found wonderful, high quality shirts with maybe a spot on the sleeve. The quilts come out homey and charming and I hope are a comfort to the children who receive them. I have a tendency when using new fabric to make them suitable for little kids with cutesy fabric, but there is a need for quilts for adolescent and teenage boys, too. I enjoy the challenge of making something useful out of discards.
