These are my latest quilts for injured UK soldiers! I was given a bag of 6"squares cut from mens shirts. I have now made 5 quilts from those squares!! It was fun finding different designs! Most were found on this board so thanks to everyone!!

Great Job!! I love the colors.

Wonderful quilts. Nice work.

Nice job! These are very manly looking quilts. But then, not all soldiers are men these days are they. :wink:

You are doing such a wonderful thing making all these quilts for injured soldiers. The quilts are just wonderful!!!

"Beautiful" and "Fantastic" job .... "Love Your Quilts"! I especially like the "masculine" look and colors of your work. Sometimes it is hard to come up with that look and your cause is "Awesome".

Beautiful colors!! I may have to copy the first one..

Both beautiful.

Terrific designs and great work. Congratulations.

Love them both! I make quilts for veterans and this would be a lovely change for me! Thanks for the inspiration!!

very nice!

Very nice.

Very nice and so masculine too. Good work! :thumbup:

Wow, those quilts are really impressive looking. I love the dark boarders and sashing with the bright colors!

Thanks! It went together very quickly! Basic 4 patch then cut 1 and half ins either side of centre seem vertically and horizontally then middle strips flipped 180 degrees!

Beautiful

This is wonderful. The soldiers are going to love these!

I bet a bunch of quilters would like to make this pattern. I made a couple for kids quilts for Project Linus and they went together quickly and really showed off the novelty fabrics well.

Those are beautiful - great job!

These are lovely. You did an outstanding job!

these are great, I'm definitely bookmarking this!

very nice :)

Your quilts are beautiful, not always easy to come up with manish type quilts as most quilting fabrics are geered towards femanine things. I am very impressed with your colours and designs, well done.

Gal

beautiful quilts, and for such a good cause. great job

I absolutely love what you did! They are really great quilts for men. To cool.

You might want to check out Quiltville.com there are some great scrap quilts. But Bonnie Hunt of that site did a book on using men's shirts for quilts.

Your quilts really are great,

very nice quilts
