    I made this quilt for a friend whose dad passed away. She gave me a lot of his shirts & hankies to select from. He was from Indiana & so I used the Indiana Puzzle block & put them on point. I also used the hankies for the 4 corners. On the back I took one of the button pockets from a shirt & printed a special label & inserted it in the pocket & closed it with the button.

    Decide on a block size and make string blocks.

    Memory bears along with quilts are also very nice made out of shirts. I am so sorry for your family's loss

    I have always loved this quilt and thought someday I would start collecting and make one similar:

    I saw a cathedral window made from mens shirts and it was gorgeous. So sorry for your loss.
