"Always read directions first." I must say this once a day to my children, but I rarely listen to my own advice. So when I saw the call for entries for a quilt exhibition "No Place To Call Home" I immediately thought of an art quilt composition and started working on it. After binding it I looked at the specifics. It turns out there is a size limit. Of course I should have known to look at the details first, but no harm done. I'm making another. In fact, I have a whole series in my head of all different sized wall hangings and surely one of them will be the right size for the show. The one shown above utilizes old clothes and cloth given to me by people who know I like fabric, some of which had been sitting in attics for decades. The back is an old army blanket. I hope I can use only recycled cloth in the making of these quilts because it seems unethical to go out and buy new fabric for a project like this.
