Deboarh's father has passed away, but they kept the flannel shirts that he wore all the time. She brought me the shirts with a request to make a throw sized quilt and a twin for her daughters. After getting a little teary myself, I dove in. Started by cutting larger squares, but wasn't going to have enough fabric for the first quilt, let alone the second. So, start cutting again at half the size, and make 4 patch units so go with the larger squares. Save all the pockets, and no quilting over them, there might be something in there from dad!
I love this label too. Deborah says that he always wore "The Big shirt". Bordered and backed with tan because he always wore khaki pants.
This is such a sweet idea and story.
