Hi I have just been busy over the past few hours reclaiming the fabric from a load of old cotton curtains, boy have I got a lot of fabric. Way to go girls. and boy does it make you feel good by preventing wastage.

One of the first quilts I made used fabric from clothes I found and cut up. I loved the quilt, but some of the fabric didn't hold up and I ended up patching up a few of the patches. Don't get me wrong, I'd do it again, but I'd watch the quality and age of the fabric I used. Nothing wrong with recycling!! thats for sure.
