My First Quilt


Materials Used:

Fabric obtained from old T- shirts
Batting (from old pillows)
Bed sheet for the backing
Sewing Machine ( I used the regular sewing machine , as it was a small quilt)
 


I had an idea of recycling my kids' clothes ,especially the T-shirts, as there were loads of these packed into a bundle and enjoying the security of a box and consuming lots of space.




I cut the shirts so as to get those areas that I could use to make a quilt.
There were many square and rectangular pieces.
First I sewed all the pieces together to make the quilt facing. Then a sandwich of this with the batting and a besheet used for the backing.




The quilt is ready.......

I am making a tutorial on how I made this quilt , but will be posted only after the summer holidays.

Happy Holidays !
