A Special Quilt.........

I've been asked to make a memory quilt from shirtings.
 The past few days have seen the rotary cutter and board get a fair bit of use and I'm now ready to sew.
Organising and doing the prep for this type of project takes just as much time as the actual production.
The collection of shirts was sorted;
Light, Medium and Dark values, and other special pieces that should be included.
 
The pile is now reduced to
240 large light squares,
167 smaller floral squares,
480 small dark squares
and
960 small mix of light, medium and dark.
I hope to make a backing out of the leftover shirt backs.
 
All stacked up and ready to go
