It's a flimsy!
Scared Shirtless
67 x 80
It's a pattern called "For the Boys" in Jen Kingwell's book Quilt Lovely. Her version is 67 x 67 but I added a couple of rows to make it longer.
I started this in September 2017. It is made of men's shirts. I wanted to get this to flimsy stage so I could see how much shirt fabric was left over. Now that I know I can continue on with my vintage inspired quilt that has no name yet but I'm leaning toward Shirts and Grins or Shirts and Giggles or Shirts and Skirts. More on that quilt later after I make a round of Flying Geese.
Moving forward!

A great boys quilt!
Looks good! That blue sashing reminds me of painters tape.
Love it! would be a great memory quilt as well. Happy Sewing from Iowa
That's a great quilt for using up those shirt pieces. Are you planning to back it with flannel or a generic solid? Oooh, maybe a buffalo plaid? Sandy at sewhigh.blogspot.com
Love the title of your latest flimsy. Have to be careful how you say it though!
Shirting fabrics just make me smile. There's really no way to get them all straight and even and that just makes for wonderful energy in a quilt!
You always find the neatest patterns to make your quilts, and how you come up with all those shirts has me wondering! It really did turn out cute! ---"Love"
I LOVE it. . .the name, the pattern and the setting. . .You are amazing and so inspiring!!
I'm looking forward to seeing how this one quilts up. Shirting fabric quilts are SEW cozy!!
Another fantastic quilt! (And quilt name! I'm going to be snickering for days!)
