You did fantastic! Love the scrappies best! They say you can get 1.5 yds. out of a man's 4X shirt! All for 50 cents too! Great way to recycle and love that homespun look!

How lovely are your quilts. Thanks for the idea.
I was at a yard sale a few weeks ago and they had men shirts for .50 each.
Had I know.

I second those emotions! Plaids can be kinda tricky & you showed true mastery with these beautiful, homey quilts. I love them! Kudos!

Ummmmmm, what if every once in a while one of them just "accidentally" got a little boo-boo and he couldn't wear it any more? Just a really little boo-boo, of course, so it could be salvaged, but not worn! Things do "happen" you know!
