recycled quilt

That is my kitchen - It got taken over with fabrics.  That is a baby quilt I made. I used some of the extra blocks from a past quilt to finish it off.

I had some leftover blocks from a quilt - perfect to make a small quilt with. These squares were left overs from a half square triangles quilt I made. Again, these are more left over blocks. I love the edges of this quilt because its polyester velvet - the same fabric is on the back. The purple squares are corduroy. Im working on making some more quilts that are made from 100% recycled fabrics. I love sewing with recycled fabric and have learned more about how to pick out a variety of everything to make looks that I like. I really want to make some new quilts that are my own patterns. While I quilt my own way and use my own fabrics - I use those things to put my stamp on older more traditional patterns. I feel like those are my own. But, its picking elements from quilts and putting them together - I dont know if I feel like that is creating something new.

School is starting Monday - I have to get some small projects going so that I can sew and not feel like I have to get a whole quilt made. Well, these quilts are made from pieces left over from other quilts I made. So they are scrap quilts made from left over scrap pieces. I love it.

I made a few little baby quilts that are Blue -

I cut so many pink t-shirts for the baby quilts and then the Fiesta Flamingo quilt that Im still working through all of the pieces! Here are two more Baby quilts I made with Pinks .. I love the over the top quilting on the second one and the -- sorta -- roses and random blue flower on the first one. Ive been looking at the gardens around my house and taking pics of them for inspiration.

I made two little baby quilts -- I love love the colors. There are light Pinks - so light they look white in this picture- right up to bold pinks, neon really. And some grey pinks and a grey border.
