Thrift Store Plaid Shirt Quilt #2

"Men's plaid shirts either from the thrift store or a from a loved one can make great quilts! Paired with a charm pack that looks like denim will add a whole another dimension to it. Of course you can use actual denim, but keep in mind that actual denim will make the quilt heavier. This is a simple technique that has amazing results. This is a easy-to-follow tutorial that goes together very fast and is a great way to use up scraps or like in this example, thrift store plaid shirts. Always be creating!"
