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.
