Recycled Clothing QAL
This is an informal quilt-along to use what you have. My reclaimed quilt began because one of my husband’s shirts was ruined in the laundry. My plan is to loosely follow the pattern for Kaffe Fassett’s Shirt-Stripe Boxes quilt idea from his Passionate Patchwork book.
Sadly, as of February 13, 2012, I *still* haven’t finished this quilt. What is my problem?? These are the posts that refer to the quilt-along.
1. Inspiration post.
2. Informal announcement for a QAL.
The Flickr group.
3. Tips on cutting up your clothing.
4. Using the Companion Angle, or a quarter-square ruler to cut the triangles.
5. My approximate plan.

Here are some examples of other recycled clothing quilts that might inspire you. Be creative and make something you will like! And then go share your progress in the Flickr group.

Oh so nice and super cute projects. I have a few worn out shirts and blouses in gingham and stripes that I am wondering what to do with. I can’t see giving them to teh Goodwill. My hubby also is holding on to some shirts he wont let me have to pass on.
Any suggestions on a use for these. I am not into quilting but love the art.
