048 ~ Recycled Shirts

DH has a serious collection of cotton shirts.
He buys, he wears, he sells, he buys more....you get the idea. It started as a joke, when I saw several shirts hanging on hangers, but not in the closet. Turns out they were going to be sold. Hm....how much? He laughed. I'm serious, how much? Well, ok, I chose 10 shirts from the pile for $20. Not bad, for a good amount of nice (hardly been worn) looking cotton. I "deboned" the shirts, and stored them until I found the perfect place for them. How about a quilt for his brother in Europe? Voila!!
This is what lovely shirts can look like:
My brother in law has always liked sailing ships (tall ships), so when I found these panels, I knew they too had a purpose.
