And everyone probably started because their child wanted to keep the shirts. :-) They are always unique and well-loved.

I think it's because they are the exact same colors/shades as the large t-shirt blocks.

It added their same colors to the quilts. The fabrics I added were great but the quilts didn't need more of them. The shirt tails were similar to improv fillers. <br />And the kids love their quilts.
