Framed 9 patch scrappy: Recycling clothes into quilt tops.

Love making quilts out of men's shirts!
In January, I got exited about making quilts from men's shirts. I turned into a MANIAC, going to all the rummage sales within 15 miles, driving miles and miles to thrift shops, nudging little old men out of the way if they were looking at a shirt I wanted......
I have made all the blocks for a large quilt but haven't put them together yet. Then I looked at the big stack of shirt cuffs and couldn't stand to let them just sit there. I drew up a 6 inch paper-pieced block and made a small wall-hanging out of the cuffs. Then I looked at the stack of collar fabrics and they looked so forlorn. I couldn't just let them sit there all lonely. So I made a table topper out of them. Attached is a pic of the table topper. (Hope it attaches - was having a dickens of time attaching a pic!)
Will post pics of the other 2 when I get them finished.

I'm still cutting up shirts--need to finish before we leave for the states.
What size is this? It turned out fantastic!
