A quilt from recycled clothes

• A quilt from recycled clothes - 2008-11-09 08:10:18-05
  This is a quilt that I gave to my younger daughter. I made it in 2001, but I just got a digital photo of it recently.
  
  I chose nearly new clothes that no one wanted that were cotton. The light pinks were blouses that were out of style.
  
  I'm sure with money being tight that more recycling will be done. If you expect a quilt to be used up, it is a good way to go. On this quilt I was very fussy and made sure that each fabric resisted tearing.
  
  If I were to buy fabric for this quilt, I would have bought pinks that went together better. Using what you have can give a quilt more character.
  
  The interesting thing was that I had nothing left that would make one more piece for this quilt; the scraps were too small!
