son's quilt made from recycled shirts
 

I just finished this for my 15yo son.
He picked the shirts he liked from Goodwill & this is what we came up with.
It will fit his twin bed nicely.:)

I love this quilt! and recycled makes it all the better. I'm sure your son will enjoy it for years to come.

Wow! What a great, cozy quilt! Your DS has exquisite taste in fabric & you worked wonders with these shirts! I love this fabulous quilt! I just want to crawl under it & cuddle! Your DS will love & treasure this for years to come! Great job!

Now that is a very pretty quilt, and a very special one being made with recycled shirts. It is even more special that your son picked out the shirts. Good job!

Awesome Job!!! Way to go...teaching your son to recycle!

Great quilt !!! Thank you for sharing.

That turned out to be a gorgeous quilt. He had good taste in selecting the shirts. Just wondering, how many did he buy for it?

Very nice!

I think it's awesome!!

Very nice, looks great!

Well he did a great job of picking colors, and you did a great job of placing, piecing and quilting, I love it.

Handsome quilt for a 15 yo. And what a thrifty, visual lesson for him to understand for years to come. :thumbup:

hmmmm wasn't expecting such a nice quilt!!! :-) I am impressed!

Such a great idea! Nice job.

Very cool quilt and I love the binding.

It came out very nice.. I did a queen size rag quilt from flannel shirts I got at Goodwill.. I loved the quality choices there were.. The store that I went to sells the clothes by the pound... and I started collecting in the summer so there were plenty of long sleeve shirts to be had..

What a wonderful idea, I have to remember this. Love the assorted prints/colors. good job. How much do you think you saved this way?

wow, the blocks & piecework are perfect for the material. :thumbup:

Very nice...

This is one of the best LC I have ever seen. Great job by you and your son.

Wonderful! Now that's the way our foremothers did it - use it up! So saved a lot of cash on fabrics, made the boy what he likes, and gave a donation to a worthy cause. That's a big win all around!

that is fantastic and you would never know it came from shirts!....great job!

Love, love, love it. Great shopping success at Goodwill. Thanks for sharing.

thats awesome, love the colors....

Terrific quilt! Neat that your son was interested enough to help pick out the shirts. You've done an excellent job! :)

That is very pretty!!

Great quilt--love the colors!!

It looks sharp.

That is really neat! I like the red plaid centers, and that lighter blue really jazzes it up. I'll bet he loves it.

What a lovely quilt.
Great colors..

wow!! great

I love that he picked all the fabrics from Goodwill. Awesome quilt

Your son picked them well and you made a beautiful quilt with them.

That is nice.....

WOW!! What a great quilt! It is hard to find masculine fabric and I would say you got it just right!! This is a great quilt! Recycling shirts is a great idea!

Perfect quilt for a young man! Great job of piecing!
