    I love them! We have been making a lot of "recycled items into quilts, your's really turned out nice!

    I made a keepsake quilt out of my maternity clothes when I had my Daughter! It was the first, now I make lots of recycled keepsake quilts, your imagination is your best tool.

    You have done some really beautiful work!

    Terrific use of cast-offs! I only need to go through our closet for such finds.
