Used flannel layer cake squares and white and gray flannel yardage. Backed with navy minky. Full size. Long arm quilted.

When I made my list of quilts I hoped to finish this year, this quilt wasn't even on it. I guess I just forgot to add it so I'll just call it a bonus quilt. 😉 A few years ago, I stopped at Front Porch Quilts in Benjamin, Texas and one of the things I bought was this Layer Cake I loved that little quilt shop, but we ran into the owner at a quilt show in Dimmit last month and she said she closed the shop in January. Her business partner had some health issues and the shop was just too much…

Memory Quilt from Men's shirts

Last spring, I made a college graduation quilt for Haley’s boyfriend. When I showed it to my husband, he asked, “Is that for me?” He knew darn well that it was for Cameron, but I felt a twinge of g…

The original post for these quilts was just over two years ago. This set of mini-quilts was made for a family of five siblings to remember their father. I've received several questions about reproducing the design for the first and third quilts so thought I'd share that information here so that you can make one, too. One frequent question is about how to size the finished quilt to be bigger or smaller. Both of these designs are based on an eight block by eight block grid. In other words…

How to cut up a mans button down shirt to make a quilt from it. Making a quilt from my late father's shirts.

My next completion is "Monolith" This quilt measures 51" by 62". The prints are from the "Parson Gray" line. I was drawn to these by the masculine feel and the muted, sophisticated colors. I had them together with a light color of the collection, but it just felt too "matched". I liked it, but didn't love it. Then I saw the 3 yd cut of gray/blue batik blender and they all played so nicely together. I started by sewing half-square triangles. I wanted to keep the quilt more masculine in feel…

A Great Pattern for Recycling Mens Shirts! A beautiful array of plaids make a stunning quilt. Men will love this quilt and most women will too. Soften the colors for a quilt anyone will enjoy. The black center squares and border set off the vibrant prints beautifully. However, another color may work better with your …

Inspired by lumberjacks, cowboys, and Scottish warriors, the Buffalo Plaid Quilt is quite possibly the manliest quilt of all time. This is the quilt you reach for after a chilly wood-chopping session. This is the quilt you sleep with in a snow cave carved with your bare hands. This is the quilt that will keep you warm after a long day of wrestling bears and alligators. It’s rugged stuff. Of course, with a soft-as-butter flannel backing, it’s also super cuddly, and strip set construction…

Creating a quilt from old mens' dress shirts is a perfect way to recycle otherwise unusable household items. Rather than throwing the shirts in the garbage and taking up landfill space, a quilt will turn the shirts into a useful item for the home. The quilt can also honor a loved one.

Every year, my brothers and I participate in a Christmas gift rotation. This year, I have my little brother, Mikey. I really felt like I needed to do something extra special for him–poor guy lost everything in an apartment fire a couple years ago and is still replacing items. One of those items lost was a quilt my mom made for him. Even though I know there’s no way I can replace the sentiment he felt about that quilt, I thought a new one might be good anyway. Thankfully, I had all year to…

A while back I purchased and downloaded a quilting book by Louisa L. Smith: “Double Vision Quilts”. She makes interesting quilts by “layering” – using raw edge appliqu…
