I just became obsessed with the men's cotton shirts thanks to Bonnie Hunter, I have made this pattern before and will make it again...it is the perfect size for a cover up. Everyone fights over my other one. I left the pockets on the quilt so it will have little pockets all over the quilt. It is flat, I didn't lay it out real well, I was in a hurry :D Hope you like it,

I LOVE this! Now I know what to do with my shirt scraps left over from another quilt! This is perfect!

Love it, so fresh looking. I can see why they're fighting over it.Do you mind me asking the size of your blocks? :-D

if one needs an obsession, I think men's cotton shirts is a good one! Nice job

the blocks are 7.5" blocks.

Pretty. Like the idea.

Very nice!

This is really, really great. I am amazed at the creativity of the members on this list. I love this quilt.

looks like a cozy quilt that was fun to put together.

What a good idea, now I know what to make my grandson's. I love yours.

Super idea.

I have been buying mens shirts at the thrift store too. They have one day a week at the one near me that you get everything you can stuff in the bag for $5. I roll them and cram in as many as I can. I'll make a quilt with them eventually.

I like your quilt! Very appropriate pattern!

u say u left the pockets on??? I expanded the pic and can't spot them.. I'd love to see a close up of a few pockets?? great idea!!

What is the name of this pattern? I have some shirts that I'd like to make a lap-sized quilt out of. This is great!

OMG - fabulous idea! I just found a box of mending things in a closet and of course, my DH has gained a lot of weight since I hid the box - so now he can't wear the shirts, etc. - so was going to donate the shirts - now I have a wonderful idea of what to do with them!

Beautiful quilt...very nicely done. Great pattern.

Very nice idea. 7.5 block. saving a shot of this. Looks like it works up quick and itsa sharp looking quilt. thanks for sharing!!

Very nice!

I have attached a pic of my baby with his hand in one of the pockets. My son has autism and has this collection of little bitty things....I figure he will put treasures in the pockets.

That's really nice.

It is beautiful. Isn't it the greatest to literally make something beautiful out of nothing. I was so lucky to see Bonnie Hunter's quilts in person.

I LOVE this quilt!

I like this!

this is a great idea

Love the pattern. Beautiful

I love Bonnies quilts.

Your simple pattern brings out the beauty in shirt tails!

Your quilt is very nice. I like how you set them up with the white.

Love this idea--I have some shirting material that would work. The square with the white around looks like the Two-Step or potato chip quilt block.

I like it!! A perfect quilt for a teenage boy!! Thanks for the inspiration..

It's beautiful!! :thumbup: Thanks for sharing.

Carrie, You just gave the members on this board a reason to raid the thrift shops. I know I will. Beautiful quilt!!! :thumbup:

nice work

I like that quilt, have a bunch of men's shirts already, just need to pick up a few more. Good idea to leave the pockets on

Oh my, I love your quilt. Looks like another WIP to add to my mental idea box. Now I will begin to lovingly eye DH's seldom worn shirts in the closet. He hasn't worn a lot of them in a long time. I wonder if it has been long enough that he would not recognize them in a quilt?

Nice job, perfect quilt for a guy.

Oh my...this quilt is great and leaving the pockets on...what a super idea. Thanks for the nudge to make this one.

wow, what a great idea, i love it

I can certainly see everyone in the family fighting over this one. I love just love it. Now to the goodwill store for shirts!!!!Thanks...Keep up the good work...

Lovely quilt.
