Men's shirts quilt

Could someone direct me to a site with a photo of a quilt made from men's
shirts? I saw it somewhere a long time ago ... was sewn so the collar and
sleeves were still on the shirt/s. When I Google "men's shirt quilt" or
similar phrasing, I get thousands of hits, but they all seem to be for
t-shirt quilts.

A friend's 14-year-old daughter wants to make her first quilt from her
deceased father's shirts and I said I'd help.
TIA. Lobo

I think I saw that one done on America Sews. I know it was PBS.

Try Googling for 'Men's Dress shirt quilt'

The distinction made for 'dress' shirts might help.

Was it this pattern?

When I used this pattern to make a quilt for my son, I didn't add the strip
of background fabric along the bottom until after both shirt halves had been
sewn together. Less fiddling to match seams that way.

"America Quilts"? Found that site and it has no search capability.

Got zip on that using variations, except for quilted dress shirts!

No, it wasn't a pieced pattern. It was actual shirts with the collars and
sleeves left on them. It might've had a 3-D appearance?

Thanks anyway : ( Lobo

Several years ago Martha Stewart did a program where she made pillows with
men's shirts. Katie Stewart did a program last weekend on PBS where she made
a "quilted" headboard with old shirts.

Sorry, I can't be more help.

Nope ... not it either.
Thanks! I started working again and have been exhausted! I've also been
learning fun new things like AutoCAD.
