As a tribute to my father and sons, I have decided to make quilts out of their old aloha shirts. Lots of work involving cutting them apart, then cutting into 2 1/2 strips. I'm following a jelly roll style.
This is one of the shirts before being cut up. Actually, this was one of Robert Francis Scannell's most favorite aloha shirts.
This is a sleeve and collar from one of Nick's shirts.
Each piece is then cut up into 2 1/2 inch strips.
These are piles of already cut-up 2 1/2 inch strips. Whew.
Here are the strips but into 42" long pieces. I'm ready to assemble into the quilt face/top.
