  When cleaning out our second floor, I examined a heavy scrap quilt. It was partly sewn by hand and partly by machine(just different sized pieces put together). The interesting thing was where some seams had let go I could see some green material; the scrap quilt had been put over a double wedding ring quilt that was worn out! I don't think my in-laws saved it, it was dirty and ragged.

  I haven't actively collected clothes to recycle lately, because I wanted new fabric for my gift quilts. I have only a couple of bags of such material right now. I did use a recycled dress in my sister-in-law's quilt. I had made the dress for her and it was now very much out of style; she hadn't worn it much and it had a full skirt. It was my focus fabric with many colors.
  
  I have posted photos of this quilt and two others made from recycled material in the gallery.Post edited by: kquilts, at: 2008/11/10 12:46
