My first quilt: Part 1

I'm already planning my second quilt because I think the first patchwork fabrics look so great together. I need help if the man of your house is willing. I want to make a patchwork quilt out of men's dress shirts. It would be so classic. I'm taking all too-small, ring-around-the-collar, ink-stained, frayed-cuff dress shirts you're willing to send. Mark's donated three great candidates to get me started.
This is my first patched quilt and I already love it. I ordered a walking presser foot to do my own quilting, so get ready for Part 2 with it all done. I haven't picked the backing fabric yet but have my eye on something cute.
This is the un-quilted baby doll blanket for little girls.
