It is what our grandmothers and great-grandmothers did - reused worn items to make quilts !!!!
Now...as for your prolific output of quilts in so short a time.... i think maybe you are messing with the space / time continuum - so please be careful with that !!

Here's my problem--we are going to the states shortly for a college graduation and a wedding. I may not be around a sewing machine all that time--or at least not much. (5-6 weeks) I may suffer serious withdrawal. Seriously. So I'm "sewing up a storm" now. Plus, I need to take the first 5 finished quilts to the lady where I've been buying so many of the shirts---she is curious about what I'm doing. So, I'm trying to get them done before we head back in May. That is why "so much so fast". I've not been on the computer that much--trying to get more sewing done.

Of course we want to see pictures of the others as you do them. Can't wait to see number four after it is quilted. You are doing a super job. BrendaK

When I finish up quilting nr. 4 and 5 I'll post them all together if you want.

You should post all your quilts in your album. I'd love to scroll through them one after another. You're so inspiring. An even better idea....you need to write your own quilt book!!!
