Want to thank you. I had a friend that wanted a quilt made with her hubby's shirts. All of them was plaid and stripes. I came here for any ideas...and of course you guys came though.
Here's pic's of the finish quilt. It was an emotional day for my friend and she loves it. (Her hubby passed last year at age 58..)she wants to pass it down to her GD.
That is a great use of the plaids. It turned out really nice. What a good friend you are.

PS> I recently finished a log cabin made from the oxford shirts and ties of the departed husband of a client. I posted a pic on Sew and Tell this week, if you want to see it.
