very nice neutral quilt. Thanks for sharing. I have learned so much from Bonnie Hunter too! I spent a lot of time checking out all her free patterns and I love scrappy so her site has been my "go to" web site "quiltville.com"

Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville.com also has a pattern using men's shirts and it's Rectangle Wrangle I think is the name. Different! Check out her free patterns! This is one of hers that I just finished called "Cathedral Stars".[ATTACH=CONFIG]443985[/ATTACH]

Here are Bonnie's instructions for webbing the rows, make it so much easier to keep the blocks in the right places
