Patchwork Flannel Skirt - Ankle Length

I made this skirt last fall and wore it so much. Kept my legs warmer than my old stand-by knit pants. I am going to make another one for warmer weather using Hawaiian shirts. I have three of the shirts that i found at the thrift store; going to make another thrift store run next week to find more shirts. 8 shirts is enough to make more than skirt, will also make one for my daughter. I finished the seams with my sewing machine's zig-zagger; didn't want to mess with setting up the serger.


Here's the pattern:
Takes about 8 shirts --I used shirts with blue and grey in the plaids- no red in patterns.
Yoke - 10 blocks - 10" (9.5&quot top, 1 1/4 inch allowance to be turned under for Elastic
7 rows- smaller blocks -- 4.5" (4.0) need 182 blocks
Each row has 26 blocks

Turn under for "hankie" hem
Need 3/4" elastic for waist
