Old shirts can be a good fabric source for a quilter. I already have done a quilt using two old shirts. This time, I aspire to something more refined.
I long wanted to do a quilt in the paper piecing method—by hand. A carry-along project. But I never liked hexagon quilts too well. Until I came across Megan’s idea of pieced hexagons. I was struck with the idea of piecing them and humiliated because I never thought of it! I think it makes all the difference and opens up so much more possibilities as to how to arrange them.
I have not finished but three dozens 1″ hexagons and already am playing with patterns. This is definitely not what I want:

Maybe you can make out the four fabrics that were men’s shirts once? I would love to have more than these four, and maybe some friends will help me out. I am definitely going to add some more colour and decided on orange, pink, and black. I will give you an update on that as soon as I can.
