Framed 9 patch scrappy: Recycling clothes into quilt tops.
I've been wanting to make a few quilts by ONLY using fabric I can buy here locally.
I started by buying some shirts. So far I've made 4 tops from the shirts. This is the latest one.
I'll show the other ones when I finish them, but this is one finished today.
It definitely takes more time to work with clothing. Lots more.

But I got the neat idea of leaving on the labels from a lady who lives in Spain (off this board). I think it adds interest. Here are some of them: Remember, all these shirts were purchased used here in Poland.

Talk about taking quilting back to its roots.....using what you have and what is local to make a work of art.
You did it and it's terrific. Love the labels too, I look forward to seeing the rest when you are done.
