But wait there's more......

There is certainly a few pics to show you.....
Nothing like stretching the talent out.
This one here has been made by Sue from Kiwikidspage.
Sue has very cleverly used the pockets from the shirts.
Can you believe that this quilt is being donated to the Melbourne Zoo for the female Orang-utans to use. The keepers hide treats in the pockets for the Orang-utans to find them

Robyn is in the middle of working on her shirt challenge all of those squares are only 1 1/2 inches in size. Can't wait to see the finished product it is going to look amazing.
Now this piece is another quilt made by Gisborne Marina....Yep quilt number 3. When this woman gets on a roll there is certainly no stopping her.
This flimsy has been made by Marina @ Maisie and the Boys and I absolutely love it.
Marina had already made one of these using Batiks.
The border on this is also made with shirt fabric and I do believe she has a few of her dads shirts in there too....It just makes it even more special.
I can se Marina all wrapped up in this and feeling the love.
Stay Tuned
More to come

More Shirt Challenge Quilts & Kaffe Fasset Challenge Quilts

As promised more photos
 of some very creative creations 
All made from recycled mens shirts.
It is truly amazing as to how much fabric you can get out of shirts and some of the ways that these ladies have used them is just outstanding.
This masculine quilt has been made by Anette it also seems to be a design from Kaffe Fasset book Simple Shapes Spectacular quilts
Stripescape
 Helens cleverly made quilt...beautiful
Now remember the rule was that you could only add one other fabric.
The ladies have managed this very well.
This gorgeous wonder is Margs quilt. How effective does this look, using a light back ground she has made those shirt fabrics pop.
 This is the beginning of Tanias Kaffe Fasset Challenge it is called 
Floral Snowballs
This is also a Kaffe Fasset starter for Tania
Indigo Points
How lovely is this!
Tanias Shirt Challenge wall hanging quilt.
I'm loving those blues.
More to come......

Shirt Challenge Reveal

Image result for shirts
I guess that you have all been holding your breath in anticipation for the 
BIG 
reveal of the shirt quilt challenge.
I personally, can not believe how quick that time has gone and how quickly the reveal date has arrived.
Saturday was the day, we had organised a few of us (12 in total) to get together at Margs place and make a day of it.
Chatting, Laughter, and plenty of food is always provided at these classy events.
It is always time well spent when catching up with such fabulous friends.
We decided to combine 2 Challenges 
the Kaffe Fassett Challenge & the Shirt challenge
with a touch of Halloween

We started off with a bit of show & tell....
