This is going to look good, especially judging by earlier pics of the shirt fabrics. My husband has a deep drawer in his tall boy of all the shirts he no longer wears (I have to help him with small buttons so they are worn rarely nowadays) but your quilt-making is a good reminder not to pass them on. We’ve stayed at Arne Maynard’s old 1400 Welsh farmhouse near Usk a few times (he offers B&B there and it is all very lovely especially the garden as Arne is a famous garden designer and he and his partner William are both domestic) and one of the bedrooms has a patchwork quilt made from shirt fabrics using a half triangle pinwheel (HTP) design which inspired me to make my own HTP quilt using foraged fabrics which decorates our small single bed room.

That sounds like an inspiring place to stay. I used to have a stall selling my ceramics at the Usk Farmers Market. (I lived in the Ebbw Valley at the time)
This is going to be a lovely quilt. Sewing all the squares together is a mystery to me. How does the sewing process work? Is this machine or hand sewing?

I’d sew the diagonal rows and then join them up to complete the square
It’s going to be a lovely memory quilt
That is the idea Angela. I just need to draw out the plan again, with the changed centre to see how the 7x7 blocks now fit.
Looks complicated to a novice like me!
Think of it as just rows of square pieces, with a few triangles to make up the whole

Hand sewing. I have never used a machine, not even my handraulic ones
