Recycled men's shirts
 

I just finished and delivered this one. I shopped every Goodwill and Salvation Army and thrift store in the county looking for blue striped shirts in 100% cotton. I have a hard time making quilts for baby boys. I can't applique and all the cute ones require that it seems. So this is what I came up with. Simple, but I like the way it turned out. I only used the front panel on the shirts so now I will have to come up with more ideas to use up the rest. It was cheaper at most places than buying yardage. The XL shirts have lots of fabric!! I may have to start looking at other used clothing in the future! Oh and it's super soft due to the fact the shirts have been washed so many times!

It's beautiful!

I love this little quilt--looks so soft and cuddly. Thanks for sharing.
I saved my FIL's shirts after his death. My 9 yo GD and I made a quilt from some of them and gave it to my SIL for a memory quilt--backed it with flannel. She loved it. GD made the 4P units and I sewed the sashings on. Then we tied the quilt together. GD was the one to "gift" it to SIL. A special moment for both of them.

A disappearing 9P or 4P would make really nice quilts from these fabrics--IMHO.

Very nice. I do look a cotton clothing, if the fabric is near new I may just buy it and use it. Some are real treasures

I love this quilt, so clean and refreshing. I have been sitting here this morning unpicking some of the shirts I got from a thrift shop. They are great.

It's perfect for a baby boy, great idea.

Beautiful Quilt!
 

Check out Bonnie Hunter's website - Quiltville.com. She has super uses for all of the shirt yardage you now have.

Absolutely lovely! I'll be looking at the men's shirts at Goodwill now.

Great idea and so cute.

Totally AWESOME!!! Way to go, girl!!!
