Shirt Pocket Quilt
I’m sharing a quilt I did for a customer from a couple of years ago. I saw it in my pictures the other day and every time I see it, I want to make it! Not that I have the time, but I love everything about this quilt. I’m sorry I don’t have the pattern name for you. I do know that my friend, Gwen, who made this, said it was difficult because the shirts were all different.
Her purpose for this quilt was to showcase some of her hankie collection in the pockets. It was a challenge to quilt in the placket area of the shirt, due to the thickness and the buttons that she left on the shirts, but I figured it out!
She also did the black embroidery around each pocket that gave it the finishing touch!
What a GREAT finish to a unique quilt! How ’bout that border!!?

This could be done with denim as a pocket wall hanging for children, a message center, it could have many uses, and be fun.

Hi Mary Ann, thanks! I’ve asked my customer and all she can remember is that it was an older magazine. She has no idea! I googled shirt pocket quilt and couldn’t come up with anything either. So sorry!
