This quilt started life as a soft linen shirt given to me for recycling.
The shirt belonged to a friend of a friend who had sadly passed away, but the person who gave it to me shares my love of making things and recycling and so I pondered on what best to do with it.
I love linen.
The softness when it has been washed may times,
the crisp lines after pressing and the way it moves and crinkles.
It is combined here with some Tilda fabrics used to make eight point stars.
Hand quilted with simple squares and bound with some red linen bias.
Finished size is 33 by 44 inches.
