Everything except the batting in these quilts is made from upcycling. They are duvet covers, pjs, men's shirts, ladies' shirts, curtains, sheets, pillowcases, dresses, etc.

I'm not showing the backs, but they are all upcycled fabrics as well.

The challenge for me, is, that I live in a country where we have no quilt shops and hardly any cotton fabric at the local stores. That leaves me the choice of buying on line or bringing it from the states when I visit, or "making do" with repurposing fabrics. I chose to make some this way as a challenge to myself but also to show that it can be done.
