Also, if you go to Bonnie Hunter's website she has patterns that make use of shirt fabrics.

What a great pattern! I may have to try this one myself....I have lots of plaids.

Disappearing 9 patch sounds great - with a red in the middle.

How about a snowball block? I quilted this for a friend, who was commissioned to make memory quilts. This was the only one I quilted, but I love how it turned out. I made SURE I didn't quilt thru the corner triangles; TOO many layers to quilt thru!

This post by Nancy seems to me a good idea for such a quilt. Would look great with check shirt patterns.

Bonnie Hunters' site www.quiltville.com has patterns you could use. She even has a book about using shirts and such for fabrics. A fun place to visit! Lots of great patterns!!
