Thrift stores are now overflowing thanks to those whose favorite quarantine pastime has been cleaning and the clothing racks are teeming with shirts in every color and pattern. You could even use the shirts of a loved one to honor their memory. No matter what shirts you decide to use, this is great way to learn how to quilt and be thrifty at the same time.

Thanks for the inspiration! I might do this with unused clothing from my own closet — not necessarily flannel, though.
Rag quilts are so forgiving and fun to make. You can do any size square or even rectangles.
brilliant idea love.
Thank you Karen!
