I would recommend using the snowball pattern to make a quilt out of shirts. I got the idea from the Feb 2009 issue of AmericanPatchwork & Quilting magazine, calling the quilt made out of shirting fabric "So many Snowballs". I'm preparing to make a quilt using shirts from my husband, no longer in use. This is a quilt I'm making for myself. I wish you the best on whatever you choose to do!
