Recycled Quilt
 

Hi Everyone,

At one of my quilt groups we were set a challenge to make a quilt from recycled fabrics. I made this from offcuts from a Savill Row tailor's who makes shirts and then sells the scraps for charity. The dark blue is a duvet cover that we bought for my daughter when she was going off to university. She never managed to use it as she only just left when covid hit and she was sent home... then when she went back she moved to a new flat which had a larger bed - so the duvet cover was just sitting in the linen cupboard.

Oh I love this! You’ve sure met the challenge. Great work. Will it be for you , family or charity?it looks a good size, but sometimes these photos can fool you.

Oh that is adorable, so is your penguin one! I also have a duvet I got on sale i will use as backing for two quilts! waste not, want not.

How pretty! Good job using up what you have.

Love this! I have a collection of thrifted shirts waiting in the wings and have seen many quilts that use them, but they are sometimes too busy with the different prints side by side. The blue sashing solves that problem beautifully. Definitely a winner in my opinion.

Very nice!

Great recycle quilt!

Wow….I love this! Very creative…❤️❤️❤️

Great job, love it

A lovely striking quilt .What a wonderful way to recycle!

Beautiful shirting fabrics and the navy calms them down and creates a lovely cohesive quilt.

You met the challenge with an awesome quilt. I like the story behind your recycle choices. Did you show the tailor your quilt?
He might just take up quilting. :) I hope you will keep this quilt or maybe your daughter will swoop it up as hers since you used her intended university duvet in it. Let us know! Thank you for sharing.

Very creative!

What a lovely quilt. The quilting is great too. Just proves that simple is good and the way you put it all together is perfect!

Great use of leftover scraps. I love this quilt, and even though your daughter won't be using it, it's a nice lap quilt. Nice work!

Loved how it turned out!!!

The quilt is wonderful! You did a great job following the guidelines.
