That must have been a dream to get those end pieces for making quilts! No, mine don't have much sentimental value. The first shirt quilt I ever did had some of my boys' shirts in it, but since then I've been buying from rummage sales and Goodwill outlet. If I can get good shirts for $.50 to a dollar, I'm happy.
