What fabric is your summer shirt made from? I have a lightweight linen summer top and a double gauze summer top, but it seems hard to get sufficiently lightweight linen in a colour I like (this one is light green, which is acceptable but not optimal) and the double gauze was a pain and a half to sew.

Would love to see a photo of your quilt if you have one handy.

I am also not a 101-level sewer but I love talking about sewing so I’m glad sewers of other levels are also welcome here.
