Mens' Shirts Quilts
2 Attachment(s)
Over a year ago I started helping a friend with her first quilt you can find the post here http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...t-t151435.html . Due to life in general she hasn't been able to work on it much, so I offered to finish. Sending me home with a large black trash bag full of mens' shirts, I knew I could get several full size quilts from the bag. The first picture is made from her block of choice. And the second picture is a block that I designed. The background on the second quilt is a sheet that she also sent along. The rest is all shirt fabric.

I love them both. Those little shirts are super cute. Clever idea.
|
Really cute! So nice of you to help.
|
Great use of used fabric. Love both. Hugs
|
I like what you created. It is perfect for the fabric provided. Your basket design is adoarable. Yours are fine examples of using fabrics from a source other than the fabric shop to create something beautiful and memorable.
|
They are great, I love them!!!!!
|
Great top and block! Great little folded shirts on the in-between blocks. Are they done like the tissue holder shirts?
|
i love the second but think the first is really cute and would be great for a little boys room
|
Both are so nicely done! Very kind of you to offer to help her~ :)
|
Both are beautiful!

Lots of men have an overabundance of dress shirts from years of clocking 9 to 5 at the office. But never have we seen them put to such fresh, modern reuse as in this quilt... :) |
Great job!
|
Both are lovely. Great way to reuse shirts.
|
Great idea! Love the basket.
|
I love those little shirts! Wouldn't they be a fun thing for a baby quilt?
