I was inspired by clothes ads. Many times we thumb thru' catalogs and order clothes. Then they come in the mail and they don't fit us correctly. They just hang in our closets. Since this has happened to just about everyone I know, I decided we could all relate!
I was inspired to create a quilt from an unusable clothing item --- a denim shirt that didn't fit me!

I really like the way these have come up. They look great. Lots of contrast and texture. Lovely quilting. This has been a great idea.
I am also enjoying the water view behind you!
I love how you fringed bound the edges of these - perfect with the denim scrap. Great projects.
Clever quilting!!!
Ok, so on that one hot pad you quilted little squiggly squares...so perfect. How in the world do you do that free motion??
These turned out great! I love the fringe border. I can't wait to see what you come up with for those shorts!
Love it! I hope you get a chance to bring it to guild for show and tell.
neat quilt made from a shirt!
The fringed border/binding is my favorite part!
Marcia your project is very pretty!
I love this project. The edging adds such a cute touch.
This is a really marvelous looking project! I like the inspiration and the use of the old items of clothing! Did you quilt it on your machine? It's so pretty.
Thank you so much for linking to Potpourri Friday. You make the party more fun and I appreciate you! Hope you will plan on joinging us every Friday!
What a great project, and what a nice place to work on one. I sure miss my days of camping. Its a winner in my eyes.
Hugs,

I love hos this turned out! I'm not a quilter, but my mom is—she might convert me yet, especially with the pieced fall table runner she posted this week.
Very cute! What a clever idea! I just found your blog and am your newest follower! Have a marvelous day! :)
I love this Marcia! First you grabbed me the whole camping pictures! (big camping girl here). I love the denim and the edging on this. Girl, you have me wanting to stop working on the 455 thousand projects I have lined up and get to sewing! thank you for joining TTF and have a fun week!
You had me at denim. I love any redo, refashion, reanything with denim. This is really cute.
Would love it if you would link this up to our Rockin' link party every Friday at RoCa and Company. Come and show off what you got this coming Friday. Hope to see you there...
Remember...YOU ROCK!!

What a creative use of old clothes, and it turned out beautifully.
Very very pretty! I'm eyeing my husband's closet much more closely these days, for sure, since I started seeing your upcycle projects! I love the fringed edge on these pieces, too. Whoop whoop!!
I love the way you put this together. The quilting design is pretty awesome!
This is fantastic! Thanks for sharing it at Weekend Craft Soiree! :)
I love recycled denim projects!
yours turned out great.
