      I discovered your video just today and unfortunately that link no longer works. Do you have a current link for that pattern? I have a bunch of shirts from my late father, and would love to turn them into memory quilts for my sons, and my nieces and nephews. Thank you so much for explaining how to break down the dress shirt. There is a ton of fabric on each of these and I think I have enough to do six quilts.

      I am so sorry to hear of your father’s passing. This is a lovely pattern and I am sure you will enjoy using it to make your memory quilts.

    I made my sister-in-law a throw from her father's shirts. At first, I was really intimidated. I did not want to ruin what was left of his shirts and none matched. 😕But I did it I had adjusted a few things, but it came out absolutely beautiful. I was very excited about the way it turned out. Pattern easy to follow.

      That is awesome! It can be so scary cutting into someone else’s shirts. She will cherish the quilt.

    Thank you for sharing this Memory Quilt Idea. It is one of the best that I have seen, using this type of shirt. Loved seeing it with different sashing colors. Your beautiful quilts will be treasured by the family members.

    If you keep the collar and the button plackets you could add them to a blouse as a contrast feature.

      What kind of quilting pattern would you suggest for a newbie? LOVE this pattern and I'm in the process of preparing shirts to do this, but I'm a little confused about the actual quilting part, and I can't make it out in the video.

    Did you skip the outside border? Also, your quilt looks like the accent pieces are larger than the pattern? I'm trying to copy this as a gift for our Grandpa who passed away.... more specific instructions would be great! I've looked at the link you shared...

    Hi there! These quilts are beautiful! I love the sashing on them, it pulls all of the patterns together! Unfortunately, I couldn't find the pattern using your link. I am completely brand new with any kind of quilting, but my mother passed away, and I want to make one just like the ones you've made here! Would you be able to direct me to any other tutorials or patterns on how to make these exact ones?

      @Sew Be It Quilts As far as the actual quilting goes, I can't quite make out where you did the stitching, other than the main rows. Did you just outline the squares? I absolutely love this quilt and it seems fairly straightforward for a beginner like me. I'm just stumped as to the actual quilting on it?

      Hi again, I'm slowly working my way through this pattern, and I do keep referring back to this video, I can't thank you enough for showing this pattern...and it just occurred to me that you didn't do an outer border on yours, did you? It looks like just binding...or am I not reading this pattern correctly?

    How many shirts did you need to make the 4 quilts? I'm not making memory quilts. I want to make "masculine" quilts from thrift store shirts into 45" by 6o" wheelchair lap robes for my doctor's homebound and hospice patients. (My current stash is more for women and children. lol)
