My brother-in-law passed seven weeks ago and I am looking for patterns and ideas for making quilts using his shirts. Does anyone know of a link where I might be able to find this information? I've promised his wife that I'll make one for her and one each for her adult children (niece and nephew). I love them dearly and want to help sooth their grieving souls.
Thanks for any info you can pass my way. :)

I made one last summer from the BQ pattern. The 12 1/2" squares came out of the backs of plaid shirts, the smaller parts from blue dress shirts, and the strips between everything I think was a red cotton robe.
