There's the 7 shirt quilt:

May be more involved than you want, but she gives tips on shirt deconstruction. There also is Bonnie Hunter's site:

Love all the quilts posted. I'm in the middle of piecing 3 quilts from shirts.

I like the Warm Wishes pattern. It's fantastic and so easy.

Thanks for the link to warm wishes. Looks easy. I will show it to my little church lady quilting group. This may be a pattern they can use.

Thanks for suggestion this would probably work quite well as I have so many different colours. Eileen

Really like this but am not great at sewing straight seams so not too sure how it would turn out. Thanks for suggestion. Eileen

Thanks to you for suggesting and Bellaboo for finding a link, when I looked at this it seemed so complicated but on looking at how it is made up it seems really simple but very effective. This is def on the list. Eileen

Hi, did consider yellow brick road but think it probably has a bit too much piecing for me for this project. It is def on my to do list thought. Thanks for suggestion Eileen

Really love both these patterns and they both look relatively simple but did not want to have to bother with sashing for this quilt. Will def keep them in mind for another (my want to make list gets longer by the day). Thanks for the suggestions. Eileen

Really lovely quilt but again looks like a lot of piecing to do and I really want to get this quilt finished in a weekend. Thank you so much for sharing your quilt with me. Eileen
