I made one, a Harley-Davidson, for my son and never again. Have been asked and I told them I would be there for them if they needed help or advice..but one was enough for me. He loved it and that is all that mattered to me.....My blocks were all in multiples of 4"x4", 4"x8".....up to 16"x16", which gave me many sizes as some were turned to be 8"x4" etc.... It was a challenge, to say the least. I used the pockets from some of the shirts for my 4"x4"s. For some of the narrow but long blocks, I took photos and transferred them to fabric......took a long time to complete the 90"x90" but he has it hanging and is so proud to tell anyone asking that his mama made it for him. I used 53 Harley T-shirts, the granddaughter's baby Harley shirt, a few of his wife's shirts and even the other granddaughter's Harley denim pocketbook......it definitely is 'Family Harley quilt' !!!! GOOD LUCK WITH YOURS, it will turn out just as you hope it will.
