Way to go. 100% cotton is 100% cotton wherever you find it.

I would like to do more "green" projects. May we should start a "green or thrifty thread ". :roll:

I don't have any ideas for a quilt but kudos to you for letting go of some of your clothes - I think my DH still has shirts he wore in high school and he's in his 60's! We have separate closets so I just close the doors on his and walk away.

I see a new beautiful quilt in your future. If you need an additional color just go shopping in your closet. :)

Great job Eddie! Yes, visit Bonnie Hunter's website, quiltville.com, she's got a lot of wonderful patterns for shirt quilts.
