Default son's quilt made from recycled shirts

I just finished this for my 15yo son.
He picked the shirts he liked from Goodwill & this is what we came up with.
It will fit his twin bed nicely.

Now that is a very pretty quilt, and a very special one being made with recycled shirts. It is even more special that your son picked out the shirts. Good job!

That turned out to be a gorgeous quilt. He had good taste in selecting the shirts. Just wondering, how many did he buy for it?
