|
Here is a pic of part of my quilt top I have done so far, it is as wide as Double bed so far. Not sure how many labels I have sewn together. But I know it will take alot more labels to finish.

Good heavens, that looks very impressive. I think I would have called it a day after ten or so labels.

Wow, what a neat idea! Makes me want to go rip all the labels from my clothing 
How long has it taken you to get this far?

You have a lot of patience to not have already given up and stuck it in a box. That is pretty cool.
Quilters of the past were the original recyclers, using what was on hand to make quilts to keep their families warm.
Back in the late 1800's the rage was making quilt tops out of
silk cigar bands.
Those are selling for a fortune now, you might be making a future family treasure.
