Beyond Cotton - Make a Quilt with Up-Cycled Materials

Forget the quilting police and the “cotton only” rule. In this class you will be encouraged to build a quilt entirely out of up-cycled materials. Use work shirts, silk ties, linen or rayon blouses, wool or corduroy slacks or, heavens forbid, polyester clothing. Whether you use the fabric in the shape it comes from the garment or cut it into traditional shapes like squares or triangles, your quilt will be unique and personal.
