I concur on the rag quilt idea... I've done a couple, here's one

Why not ask for some of his shirts, it will be totally HIS quilt. Still do as you planned with whatever design you have chosen.
I really like the circle quilt but other designs work well.

ShannanMN--I like the red stitching you did in each block. Looks like it will be well loved.

I made 3 denim rag quilts mixed with 100% pre-washed bandana fabric. They turned out beautiful. No camera, so can't post a picture.

I would pick up a couple of gently used flannel shirts from a thrift shop and cut them into squares to use with the denim.

I made denim quilts from my son's jeans and used flannel squares and I was happy with how they turned out. But I did that circle pattern

I made one like this. Good with flannel in middle...

My friend is making a rag quilt using denim and flannel but she was able to prewash the flannel as that tends to shrink quite a bit.
