Patchwork Quilts

The more I read and learn about conserving resources on a grand scale, the more I think about ways I can reuse things at home. So I've taken up quilting. I'm hoping that's the right verb, and if it isn't and I've said something offensive then I apologise and I'll explain. Rather than throw away old clothes (the ones that aren't suitable for the charity shop), I borrowed a book called 'Learn to Quilt' from the library and cut them up to make a quilt. I'm half way through my first quilt at the moment, and it's a great past-time while watching a DVD.
