I've done only one quilt using shirts which I've shrunk away from (hooray!). I hated to throw them away; but, since they were too big to wear anymore, I cut them apart and used the fabric for a quilt top. I began with seven shirts and wound up with so much fabric that I did the top, the backing, and the binding, and still wound up with a pile of scraps for another project!

Your quilt is so much more spectacular than mine is. I have inspiration to begin that other project now. Thank you!

I know what you mean. There is a ton of fabric in a small pile of shirts! Getting a lot of variety is harder.

Wow, I love what you have done with your scraps. Had to look at the second photo, to see that the geese are doing their own thing. Great use of your fabrics.
