I am a big fan of Worn&Washed, having bought a bundle of 'forgotten flannels' for my Mum at Malvern earlier this year plus a bundle for myself similar to the one you have used. I was far less inventive in putting mine together than you have been, but luckily I have been collecting old shirts and sheets ever since to put together my own bundles.<br />I was also at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham (as I only live down the road in Solihull). Exciting to think that my quilting idol was in the building :-)Torihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085844478475385834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-68949992934451874552014-08-29T00:10:13.730+10:002014-08-29T00:10:13.730+10:00Surprised to read that you found this frustrating-...Surprised to read that you found this frustrating--- it looks so cool and calm!

I love the patterns of mens shirts. Perhaps it is the red gingham that is bothering me. <br />As ALWAYS, I do love your style, and your pattern ideas. They are exceptional, and this fabric challenge you gave yourself just proves that you can make something beautiful no matter what is thrown at you.<br />Thank you for sharingRosemary B❤️https://www.blogger.com/profile/17792395820711368533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7027731275129684828.post-44076974880759277472014-08-28T22:08:00.937+10:002014-08-28T22:08:00.937+10:00You are so creative!

I went around a few summers ago to garage sales and bought up a bunch of men's plaid shirts, would not pay more than $1. I was able to get 2 quilts out of them. They are darker colors than yours and look nice and masculine for guy quilts. Hang in there - you'll love it when you're finished!
