The sun was shining in Belfast today (while everyone else was getting snow apparently!).
It's so lovely to see a stretch in the day and vulnerable signs of spring pushing up in the garden!
Today I'm showing you my mixed textiles 'Man' quilt!
This quilt was a return to my first love, recycling textiles. Despite it being a 'man' quilt, it was made mostly from women's suit clothing and linens!

I wish I had taken more 'up close' photographs to show you all the lovely textures here! Perhaps when I get it back from Popular Patchwork I'll take a few more pics.
Making a quilt from recycled textiles can be a very organic process. If you like reusing cottons, shirts and linens, then why not have a go at making your own quilt!
It's so satisfying seeing how unused clothing and unwanted textiles can be transformed into something snuggly and useful once again!
Linking up with Scraptastic Tuesday!
Keep warm!
