I went to the local DAV thrift store and the prices were nothing like what you get. The lowest price I saw was $2.96 per small shirt...and the XL sizes were $5.96 EACH! At $6 a shirt I can almost go to JoAnn's and get plaids in regular yardage...and those are usually less than $6 a yard! It was a good thought and I was willing to pay maybe $1.50 or even $2 a shirt but nowhere near $6 a shirt!

My pattern is slightly different -- the 'light' piece is all one and set in -- a pain! Eleanor Burns sewed it in all one swoop which I can't figure out. I may redo the plan to use your pattern, with a seam in the light -- looks a lot less fussy and more precise! <BR/><BR/>I also, have a bunch of plaid shirts - bought 15 for $7.50! Managed to keep 3 of them for DH to wear, and I am still trying to figure out which pattern to choose to use them up. The supply was endless, even in my little town, pop. 8500! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the great ideas!Elaine Adairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664504842156046995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-37684846693809800702007-09-11T08:56:00.000-04:002007-09-11T08:56:00.000-04:00Did you use a paper/muslin foundation under the st...Did you use a paper/muslin foundation under the strips or sew and then cut with a template?

This quilt will be spectacular.<BR/>I have a great banana bread recipe I'll post later this week when I have time to bake. A friend makes a powdered sugar icing (just the powdered sugar, lime juice and zest, and pours it over mini chocolate chips on top of her banana bread. Pretty wonderful, and who knew lime and bananas went so well together?Lynn Dykstrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16689293134690945439noreply@blogger.com
