I found this pattern by L. Worland "Hawaiian Shirt" 2005 @ www.paper panache.com [ATTACH=CONFIG]330939[/ATTACH] My dad only wore jeans and short sleeve button up shirts or flannel shirts. The fabric is all from his shirts and jeans except the black back ground, the neck portions, and the teal border.

The feather because my dad was part indian and very involved with a tribe where he lived.[ATTACH=CONFIG]330943[/ATTACH]
Now to see if this actually posts. I have been having failure to load issues I just gave up for the longest time! Here goes something.

Very pretty.. You did a beautiful job.. I have a bag of shirts from my dad.. I am having a problem trying to figure out what I want to do with them..

That is really special, and beautifully done!

That is so special. I'm just now in the process of making one from my Dad's shirts and jeans and yours is such an inspiration.

That just brought tears to my eyes! What a treasurer for sure! I wish I was into quilting when my dad passed. I wore one of his t-shirts as a nightie until it feel apart.
