I feel bad about my previous comment - making a scrappy quilt out of whaterver is one thing - making an heirloom piece is another. I mean, why would I want to spend 1-2 years on a quilt pieced out of salavation army remnants? So, ladies, there are always two sides to a story.
however, I did make a nice t-shirt quilt out my granddaughters hand-me-downs. And the dog received a quilt out of flannel scraps. What a lucky dog :)
