Hexagon Quilt

This quilt is definitely a process piece, I'm paper piecing a double bed sized quilt out of 1" hexagons.

I’m making them out of my dad’s old shirts, it’s kind of a nostalgia thing. I get my expensive taste from Dad; we can (and have) spent hours in places like Brooks Brothers, Paul Stewart and other posh gentlemen’s outfitters rummaging through ties and shirts.

Occasionally I request a retired shirt or two to wear around the house, find I don’t wear them as often as I wish and think I ought to charity shop them. I never want to, but I think I might have forced myself to get rid of a few I wish I hadn’t now.
