My first selvage quilt with recycled batting

Ready for Quilting!

Here's my very green quilt! No, not the color green, but it is made up of fabric that is usually discarded. The batting is made from recycled plastic soda bottles, and I got the backing at a yard sale!

I've been reading Karen Griska's book and following her blogs and finally got enough selvages saved up to make my own quilt. It is really very easy. Just trim the selvages from your fabric and set them aside. I've been cutting about 1-1/2 inches off. For full instructions, check out Karen's website or check out her book.



Now to get it quilted!
