I'm a self-taught quilter. Recycling is my passion. When I saw my BIL throw his 50 year old Air Force uniforms in the trash, I had to retrieve them. Along with my husband's old Navy uniforms, I washed them in HOT water, dried in HOT dryer, and proceded to cut. This is the heaviest quilt I have ever made.

Looks like it turned out great.

Waste not, want not! That will keep someone very warm. I like to use it up and re-use things. I made a quilt from my sons beer company uniform shirts that he just loves!!!
Way to go girl.

I bet that is heavy. But it sure is pretty. Great job.

That is so cool! Great way to recycle! I really love everything!

Nice job!

Wow, you did a great job on them. How many needles did you break working on that heavy fabric?

Breaking needles was not a problem. Breaking thread and the workout on my muscles was major. It keeps us warm in the winter with the thermostat turned down.

Those are awesome! Great recycling job Newby. Welcome, from Oregon. :D :D :D

You are so inventive. They look nice.
