Quilt from men's shirts
3 Attachment(s)
Kay made this quilt from men's shirts. She used the shirt button plackets for borders around the outside of the quilt. Kay also made use of shirts by piecing the quilt backing from them. The Nine Patch and Snowball blocks made up very nicely for a man's quilt. We chose Hobbs 80/20 batting and custom quilted it with continuous curve on the nine patch blocks and echo stitching on the snowball blocks

How clever using the buttons for the border! Great overall design and look
|

OH fabulous quilt and quilting!!! I just found a box of my DH's old, outgrown shirts in the back of his closet and I was thinking of what to do with them! What timing!!!
|
Awesome job!! Love it!!

That is probably one of the best looking "shirt" quilts I've seen! Great design! What a unique and absolutely fun way to use the buttons. Kudos to Kay!

Great idea for a man's shirt quilt. It turned out wonderful. I've been saving a bunch of shirts for a project like this and now have a great idea to use to make it. Thank you for sharing.

This is a great looking quilt!!!A thrift shop in our town had a 10 cent clearance sale on everything in the store--this makes me wish I had gone and stocked up on men's shirts! Would you share the instructions for doing the button-placket border? Very original--I love it!!!
|
You guys are so talented! Beautiful!
|
Neat quilt! Great use of the shirts, and love the button plackets for the border! :)
|
What a great use for shirts it is a really neat quilt
|
It's a great quilt! I have bought a lot of shirts, but haven't yet started one. The quilting on it is just the way I like it: not overpowering the quilt, but adding dimension and interest.
|
That is a really good idea.
|
what a great idea for the borders
|
Love it and have been looking for an idea of using men shirts.
|
A wonderful quilt. Clever use of buttons on border.
|
What a unique idea! I saved my dad's shirts after he died. This would be perfect for them. Thanks.
|
Awesome job!!!!
|
I have been collecting shirts for the fabric. This quilt is so clever! I love the button plaques in the border. Great quilt!
|
Very nice! A very appealing quilt, and a great, and creative way to recycle.
|
Cute button border, cute idea!
|
LOVE the button idea on the side! thanks for sharing! I have a bag full to use one day!
|
How neat that you used the bottons! Very original,love it!
|
What a great idea using the button plackets. I also have made quilts from shirts and have a jar full of the buttons but never thought of using the button strips in this way. Thanks for a great idea! Love the quilt design as well.
|
Very well done, both piecer and quilter. I too love the idea of the button plackets in the border. Very clever use of a part of the shirt usually tossed away when turning into a quilt, and adds tons of visual interest.
|
Nicely done. I like it. Sandy 64

|

I love your quilt. It's quite unique in the way you used the buttons. You have great ideas there.
|
Was it quilted using a LA machine? Does having the buttons on the border pose a problem when LAQ'ing?
