Finished and Delivered!

I put the finishing touches on the commission quilt today and delivered it to the customer.   It doesn't look much different than previous posts, and it was hard to get the whole thing in a photo because of its double bed size, but here it is, finished.

Recycled Project Update

I've been working on the recycled clothing quilt project in between other things.  First, I made 30  blocks like this.

 I also needed some smaller squares and rectangles to get the dimensions I need for width & length.

Today I spent time on the layout and am working on putting the rows together.  Here's a peak at how its shaping up.

I'm happy with how it looks and the progress I made today.

Recycled Clothes Quilt

I'm currently working on a commission for a friend, who wants a quilt made from her 7-year-old's clothing.  The saved treasures also included a crib sheet, and child's chair cover.   I've spent a few weeks (off & on) taking things apart to be able to cut the fabric into usable pieces.

These are some of the shirts, cut apart into fronts and backs. 

Here are some of the other pieces - some cotton knits, flannels, and part of the chair cover, which yielded a surprising amount of fabric.

 And some of the cut pieces, ready to be sewn into blocks.  Stay tuned to see how this evolves!
