I love love this quilt....great job and for me a quilt that is quilted is awesome....if you haven't heard of Bonnie Hunter, you should check out her site...she uses thrift store shirts all the time. She even show you how to cut them up to get the most out of them and has tons of free patterns..... http://quiltville.blogspot.ca/p/free-patterns.html

I love your thrifty quilt. The colors are great and the placing of the squares is very artistic. Good for you!

Looks great - especially like the border treatment.

And what a successful pattern it is. I like it very much. I love the fabrics too. It borders on beachy and masculine. Hits the mark for me. Great job!!

I like it - the blue, green, and whites work well together.

I understand where you're coming from. I too plan to do just as you have. There is so much out there that is useable and cheap, and works out to be beautiful as your quilt proves. The other advantage too is that I would feel less inhibited about trying new patterns and techniques on thrift store fabrics. Purchasing the shirts/dresses/ tweed items means money also goes to worthy causes too. Positives all round. Pluses all round. Happy quilting.

You did a fine job with this. The border takes it up a notch.

What a great quilt design. I especially like the small squares in your border. Keep up the good work!
