Could This be Used in a Quilt?
#1
I found this neat little Americana sweater at Goodwill for $2.00. I thought it would be really cute incorporated into a quilt. Any suggestions on how to cut and make blocks from this?

Is the sweater wool? I think it would depend on the fabric. If you wanted maybe you could wash it in warm water and see how much it srinks. It sure is cute. I can see why you would want to use it. Good luck BrendaK

This sweater is not wool and looks as though it has been washed several times so I feel sure there will be no additional shrinkage. I have never appliqued before so I'll need to get a lesson on that. I just thought it was adorable and would look great in a themed quilt if I can figure out how to do it!
