Green Quilting

I've been saving my husband's old shirts to make a quilt ala Bonnie Hunter.  I got several shirts from my brother and his partner too.   DH is an accountant; my BIL is  a banker; and my brother is a lawyer, so I didn't get much variety in shirt type or color.  I have white, white with blue stripes or checks, blue, and blue with stripes or checks.  That combination would make for a boring quilt, so I went to  yard sales and thrift shops and picked up a few more shirts.  Here's what I have so far:




 
Each block has 64 pieces.  This is Goose in the Puddle from Bonnie Hunter's Scraps and Shirttails II.

Wow! These look great. I haven't gotten to into shirts as fabric although I have taken a shirt of mine and one or two from hubby. These make me want to do one just like this... but I promise I won't start anything new for a while!
