The story about this quilt started with my husbands old shirts. I wanted for a long time to use them to make a new quilt for our bed. I needed to by a few more plaided fabrics to blend in with the shirts.
The quilting is very simple, and I used knots in every corner. The binding is made of several fabrics. I love the quilt, it is soft and warm. And it is on our bed very day.

I hope this translates for you - I love your quilt and it is so very special that you get to wrap yourself in your husband's shirts while you sleep.
What a wonderful way to recycle and reuse! Your quilt came out great! I have a stack of my husband's old shirts and now I know what to do with them. Thank you for sharing and the inspiration!
Hello! Your quilt is really beautiful! My patchworks begun also thinking of my hb:s shirts. For that quilt the top is finished and waiting for quilting.
I love all those soft colours you have used and the simple pattern is beautiful!

Great job! Did you handquilt? I am collecting my husbands shirt since a long time and some day I'll do one myself.
trur jammen eg skal sjekke skapet til mannen og begynne å samle - det blei veldig fint! Inspirerande :))
Hei hei. Sengeteppet ble kjempefint. Jeg er storsamler av skjorter selv. Det er gratis, det er gjenbruk og ikke minst så er det så mange spennende ruter,striper og farger på skjorter som du ikke finner i quiltebutikkene. Mitt første blogginnlegg er om min duk av herreskjorter. :-)

Ha en deilig søndag :-)
Hjelpe meg.... Du må ha en mann som jobber i bank, minst! Her går det i svarte og hvite skjorter, stor sett...
Denne quilten er en av mine favoritter. Klassisk og tidløse farger i myke, deilige skjortestoffer. Kjemperomantisk å dele med mannen din!
; )
what a great idea to use up those shirts! I love your quilt, it looks so cosy and heartwarming.
