Shirt Quilt

I took up quilting to help me through the loss of my husband. I decided I didn't want to give or throw away his shirts and so came up with the idea of turning them into a quilt.
As you can see from the finished quilt he liked similar colours, luckily for me they were quite girly pinks and purples.  The outer purple borders and backing were bought fabric.
It turned out to be a BIG quilt complete with some of the pockets. It was probably too large for a first project,  but with the help of Angie my quilting teacher it turned out very well.
(The photo doesn't do it justice, I must try and take another one.)
