Great job. I think these are great for men. They aren't usually in to "girly, frilly" quilts. My SIL had a huge collection of t-shirts that he wouldn't part with. They had seen years of wear and tear, some stains and fading. It drove my DD crazy as she is not a saver. When I was still new to quilting, I took a class on t-shirt quilts. DD did not have her old t-shirts...because she's not a saver, you know...so I asked if I could use some of SIL's shirts. Surprisingly, he agreed. At the class I had the oldest, worn out shirts you can imagine. BUT, when cutting the necks and sleeves away, they turned out great. Everyone was happy. Daughter got rid of the "rag bag" and he has his sentimental shirts in a new and useful quilt. The backing is flannel with Cincinnati Bengal design.

Yes My parents still live in Nashua, and my Dad worked for Sanders(Lockheed) and so did I, a long time ago! They love the Red sox! I agree with you about these kind of quilts telling a story, that's what makes them so special! what part of NH did you live in? Do you like living in Texas?
