Took a while, but I finally finished the quilt I made from one pound of fabric from thrifted clothing.
The thrifted bedsheet I used for the backing shows all the embroidery stitching. For the binding I dug out some vintage cream-colored bias binding from my stash, keeping the entire project vintage, thrifted and/or recycled.
I struggled at first, but eventually I found my zone and even came up with a story about the quilt while I was working on it that I might write in my spare time. In the end I learned a lot and had plenty of fun.
Aside from the lovely time I had making this quilt, I think it proves that unwanted used clothing can become something beautiful, unique and purposeful.
Now I think I'll do some smaller projects. :)
