Default Memory quilt

I have tasked myself with making a few memory quilts for my husbands cousins family in memory of their son. I came across this quilt that used Polo shirts while looking at images of memory quilts on google. It's a much more streamlined use of the shirts and I really like it. Does anyone know the name of this quilt pattern? I'd like to make it mostly because it's such a vast departure from the standard Polo shirt memory quilt and I think the family would really like it. Any help would be much appreciated.

It's the quilt under the heading of "Memory Quilt Made From Polo Shirts."

interesting. Never seen anything like this before, do you think that she uses a fusible stabilizer?

It's a pattern called Sunset by Julie Popa, Sunflower Hill Designs. Here's one place I found it for sale.

Be aware, it has Y seams and the outside edges of the blocks are on the bias.

It is a beautiful quilt that will make good use of polo shirts. Be sure to use a good stabilizer when cutting.

Very pretty. I don't make any kind of quilts using shirts of any kind. Good luck.

Hi Catherine. I love that pattern. It is a great alternative for polo shirts. It has given me an idea. I've made a couple of t shirt quilts and have cut and saved the rest of the t-shirts fabric for a quilt but hadn't decided on making it similar to the actual t shirt quilt or something else. So you've shown me the "something else". Thanks.
Attached are the t shirt quilts I've made...I do not use any stabilizer on my t shirt quilts. I think this can be done similarly.
