SHIRT QUILTs

Hi, it's exciting to be on the new BB. I've been a quilting sluggard lately, but several years ago I began making what I call my shirt quilts. I use the 100% cottons found in men's shirts and women's blouses, and find them at yard sales and thrift shops. I always look for garments that have a high thread count and whose collars and cuffs are in near-new condition. There's a famous quilter who makes shirt quilts, too, so I guess great ideas come to great minds simultaneously. I can't remember her name (Duh!) but I did see her on a TV quilt program one morning and was startled that a famous quilter liked my idea of using shirt fabrics!!! Welcome aboard, all you BB quilters, posters and lurkers!
