On the weekend I also took some time to clean up a bit in my quilting room. I gathered up the men's shirts that I had. I collect men's shirts to make a scrappy quilt. There is a lot of fabric in a mans shirt. I deboned the shirts. Below is a pile of the garbage. I don't keep the cuffs or the collars. I have to admit that I am lazy and couldn't be bothered to cut so intricately around all the seams.
As you can see my bin of men's shirts is full. With the next batch of shirts I get, I will have to decide what pattern I will make with them. I am not sure what, but maybe along the way something will come to me. Does anyone have any suggestions? At one time I was thinking of a triangular log cabin block. What do you think?
This quilt though, stays on the back burner for a while. I still have 23 others to try and finish first. Part of quilting is preparation and part of preparation is collecting the fabrics. Collecting the right fabrics for a project is time consuming, but part of the fun is in the hunt, isn't it?
