For my art quilter's bingo lap quilt space I decided to use a throw project from Maya Donenfeld's Reinvention, which has a bunch of ideas of how to use rescued materials to make things.
This barn throw is made from a thrifted bed sheet and old t-shirts.
It's easy to thrift a queen size flat sheet for a couple of bucks; I found a nice gray cotton sheet with white pin stripes at our local Goodwill (far right.) From my closet I took a bunch of t-shirts that have become too tattered for me to wear anymore. I've never made a quilt from t-shirt material, either, so the project appealed to me as something new to learn as well as a way to reuse my old clothing.
Stay tuned to the blog to see how this project progresses.
