I have just finished a 3D Bow Tie throw using shirts. The size of the tie can be adjusted simply by the size of the squares you choose to use and can be made small for a pillow or larger for any size quilt. I believe one tutorial I watched recommended not using anything smaller than 3" squares as it is too tedious. It's a fun pattern and appropriate for men. The trick is to figure out how to keep the bias from tucking into the seam but you'll get the hang of that after you've ripped out enough seams! I'd make this again--really.
