Those look great! You gave shirts a new life and turned them into some wonderful quilts. And I love the added pillowcases. I am sure they will be appreciated. Good job.

Those are great Hilary! I like the 'plaid' effect on the first one and the boxer fabric is a hoot!

Your friend must be tickled pink that her fabrics have been used so creatively.

I know these will be treasured!! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
