Quilt From Shirt Material

Easy
This is a quilt I made 40 years ago from material my Grandma got from the Shirt Factory. She worked there, and grew up during the depression, so nothing was thrown away. The main person at the Shirt Factory told her she could have any material that they were going to throw away. If I remember right, these were pieces that would have been the cuffs on the shirts, but were cut a little short. No, this isn't a true tutorial because I only have 3 photos, but was told to put this on here anyway, to give others some inspiration.
I started off by sewing rows of rectangles end to end.
Then sewed all the strips together.
On the back, I used a bed sheet, and sewed the edges all the way around. That's really all there is to it.
