After my two sons died, their wives came me some of their shirts. I made quilts from them for each of their children. Creativity will probably come to you after you start. But, I would cut areas those showed the name on the front of the shirt, like Hilfiger, Duckhead, or the symbols ....to show what kinds of shirts their daddy liked. On some I would button the front of the shirt and use the buttoned down front of the shirt. (Of course, I would sew the buttons into the buttonhole..AFTER it was quilted. But, ideas will come....And, yes, I cried while cutting the shirts....but I thought that the quilt would be better than a sack full of shirts sitting in the closet never being seen. And, I know one grandchild dearly treasures her "daddy's quilt"....don't know about the other two.....never heard a peep from them. Broke my heart, but that's their problem. I did it for them....maybe someday, they will realize what a treasure they have.
