For my very first quilt, I went to Goodwill and bought plaid men's shirts, at first I removed the labels, but later decided they were part of the shirt (some are quite lovely). We did a summer porch (half-squares). Although it still needs a border. My quilt buddies really like the labels on some of them. While others concerned themselves with block placement, my eyes were having trouble keeping the plaids straight, I just decided to start sewing the blocks together -- it looks pretty good. Will post a photo as soon as this WIP is complete.
