Weathered Look Quilt from Men's Shirts
 

[img]dd973633582b5421437bf...4367.jpg[/img][img]dd973633582b5421437bf...4367.jpg[/img]Can anyone help me find a pattern or size information for the quilt in my attachment? I'd really like to make one from my husband's shirts. Thank you.

Oh that is nice. Makes one want to cuddle up in it right away!

It looks like a simple Bricks pattern without the 'mortar'. Just rectangles sewn in strips and then each row offset by half a 'brick' You could make the bricks any size you want but they are usually twice as long as they are high eg. 4x8 inches finished.

That is really nice - very masculine. What did you back it with?

Here's a free pattern: https://www.allpeoplequilt.com/quilt...nd-blue-bricks The bricks are going vertically instead of horizontally, but you can make it either way with the same instructions, just change the layout. It's a pretty big quilt, too.

I've been making a lot of memory quilts lately. I've found that the poly/cotton shirts get very thin. So it's a good idea to put a stabilizer on the back. I like Pelon Shape Flex Light.

It looks like it was from a foreign blog that is no longer on line. If you look closely, it is not a typical brick as they aren't all the same length, just the same width. I'm thinking that more like a jelly roll race as everything is offset. Here is a picture of a another quilt that has uneven lengths https://www.quiltsbylisawatson.co.uk...6-1024x768.jpg

This just might be the answer I'm looking for to use up the rest of the shirt fabric I have left from making other quilts from my husband's shirts! A bit scrappy but certainly a great pattern. I like that the same fabric was constructed for the back and then an all over quilting so nothing has to match front and back. But I love the blues!

Thank you everyone! I knew I could count on all of you for an answer! I appreciate all your comments and suggestions! I plan to make the back the same pattern as the front as shown, and I hope this doesn't cause any issues. This will certainly be a labor of love as I lost my dear husband several months ago. I plan on making each one of my two boys a quilt. Again, many thanks for the pattern name, the links, and the suggestions.

Nanscan, what a wonderfully cuddly looking quilt. Lovin the muted colors, too. Very beautiful and memorable.
