Well, I made a quilt out of men's shirts once. I was really
bored and they were so nice. He refused to wear them. They were second hand. Still of good quality. So I cut and sewed.
Found an old sheet that was going in the trash. And left over batting from another quilt. True it is not a full size quilt.
But it laid around for 6 years. Basted together. Would not believe the compliments I get on it. Finally tied it, and hemmed it. Used it last winter as a lap rug. It measures about 48 inches square.
I think my tape measure has grown legs again. I have saved some of my grandmothers broomstick skirts to try another one. Just haven't decided on a pattern. She loved to dance so want to make it reflect her passion.
