One of the first quilts I made was with wool cut from old coats. I Cut them all different sizes, depending on the size of the scrap I was working with, then using a long running stitich I outlined each square with a vine of leaves and flowers (very simple design), sewed them together into a queen size (it weighed a ton!) backed it with flannel and gave it to my son and his new wife. They are still using it and it gets washed a lot!
