Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I use recycled good quality 100% cotton sheets plus regular high quality quilting cotton stash fabrics. But I have been kinda sneaky about recycling as there are those that speak disparagingly about it. I am not an art quilter and just piece between 100-150 quilt tops every year for charity giving. I make quilts that are meant to be used up and worn out like my grandmother did. Yours is just stunning. Suddenly I am quite proud of the quilts I have been making thanks to your beautiful flimsy. Recycling and going green never looked better!

A wonderful way to showcase the floral fabric. Love the gray with the florals. Good job!

Thank you, mhollifiel, I have been timid about sharing too openly that I use recycled sheets. I buy my sheets for $1 and read the fiber content when I buy them. I decided that I would be more open about what I do. I enjoy making quilts out of recycled fabric for environmental, cost and creative reasons. I know I will catch a little flack, but as they say "each to her own." I appreciate your supportive and encouraging comment. Like you, I use new high quality batting and always have a few quilting cottons in my stash when I need them. I have the luxury of a huge stash at a very low cost and I enjoy quilting every day.

First off, you are an angel making that many charity quilts each year. I also use recycled sheets as backing when possible and they are very worthy of being used for quilts.

The quilt in the photo is proof that sheets 'need' a new lease on life, to cover up with and not just slide between them.
Great job on the top.

WOW that is absolutely GORGEOUS!! I also use a lot of recycle clothing or fabric from tag sales, (now on limited income), little creativity goes a long way. You nailed it.
