I have saved all my DH shirts and pick up many shirts from the thrift stores and estate sales. I check many of the blouses also. I found some blouses with cutwork and embroidery. Those are great for girl quilts and applique. If you don't cut into the applique but very close around it, it can be a great addition to a quilt.

I find it is quicker to cut the seams off. Bonnie Hunter has a great youtube video on deboning a shirt. She does one shirt in about 7 minutes. time well spent I think.
