    OMG These blocks are stupendous!! It is hard to believe that they were made out of scraps harvested from shirts……I love the variety of pattern, fabric and texture in these……...

    Those blocks are gorgeous and your quilt will be too. Lots of cutting and sewing but, it will be so worth it.

    Makes me want to go into my sewing area and start one. I have 2 large plastic containers of mens shirts. Have been so obsessed with collecting them I have forgotten to do something with them. Thanks for the inspiration.

    I cut 45 "dark" plaid shirts and 10"light" shirts plus 25 lights from my fabric stash and scraps. I didn't have many light shirts.
