This is fantastic! I also love using bits and pieces I have found at the guild free table or have thrifted. I'm sure your nephew, who clearly has his priorities straight, will love this quilt's warmth, sustainability and provenance! Welcome to the QB! :-)
P.S. I have family in your area - in Alcester. :-)

My sister has given me an old duvet which I am taking to pieces for the wadding and also one of the sheets off my nephew's bed for the backing. So it is totally 'up cycled'! I just hope he likes it!
