Kassaundra, those are all stunning! And a beautiful way to remember your father in law.
Thanks for describing your process - It hurts my brain to think about how you made these wonderful patterns, not to mention getting everything to line up...

First my condolences to you and your husband.
I must say I love the idea you had to do this for each sibling. I also must say green is my color and because it is, I favor the very top one, although each are beautifully designed. Was he a large man? The reason I am asking it seems unthinkable you could get all these cuts for a wall hanging, from one shirt. Also may I ask the length of your Dresden blades?

Thanks. It's been a few months and I've done several quilts since then, but I think the blades were about 8 inches. He wore and XL shirt they were long sleeved that helped a lot.
