Yes, you read that right! I have been playing in recycled men's shirts! LOL I have had a small collection going for some time, always dreaming of the day I could make some manly quilts for my DS's.
My friend, Bonnie helped my little collection grow quite a bit when she shared sleeves from her collection. ~thanks Bonnie! :-) And I've been doing a bit of shopping. Finally I feel like I have a big enough variety to play! :-) Bonnie and I are going to do a block exchange from Bonnie Hunter's second book. So I decided I'd made plenty of HST's and it was time to try a few blocks! :-)
I am loving how all the plaids and strips are playing together! :-)
And since I had my shirts on my mind, I decided this month's
Schnibble project~ Doc~ would also be neat out of them. ;-)

Hope you are enjoying a little play time too! :-)
Until next time~
Happy stitchin'!

Shirts are just so fun to play with. I have a box that will be my 'fall' fun.
I have resisted the temptation to collect men's shirts for quilt fabric but you are putting the temptation back.
Those look wonderful, love using old clothes in quilts.

Fantastic! Specially from leftovers and scraps of mens shirts.
those are my kind of blocks/fabrics...going to love watching this one grow.
Oh, this is going to be cute!
And Happy Mother's Day...
The fabrics look great together and will make a wonderful quilt. I like the project on the previous post as well. Nice!
