Great quilt! I did a similar look for my 8 and 9 year old grandson's. Their mom loved the Pottery Barn look, like yours. I QAYG with kid prints on the back of each square, white flannel in the center and the ragged it. The kids and mom were both happy.
Thank you for sharing.

I think your quilt is great. Using inexpensive shirts is a great idea for trying our something new. I am a penny pincher and don't like to use expensive fabric for "experiments" or trial and error, so I like your idea of using inexpensive fabrics for this type of project. I have learned over the years that my enthusiasm often exceeds my skill and have ruined plenty of expensive fabrics by diving into a project without practicing first. If I could go back I would have done them with "practice" fabrics and taken the time to do some trial blocks. Congrats on your new quilt!

I know of a lady who after loosing her husband collected al his shirts and made a quilt with them. She purchased his favourite after shave and sprinkles it on the quilt when she snuggles in it. Your quilt looks as special as her's.
