Quilt Size: 15"w x 15"h

Quilt Description: Created with materials usually sent to the landfill in an effort to reduce my impact on the planet. It was very challenging working with some of these items; can't iron seams, stitching plastic bags can be tricky, etc. It is sometimes like learning to quilt all over again, but exciting to develop new techniques & try out new materials.

Materials: Cotton fabrics, plastic trash bags, embellished with film negatives, metal washers, beads, recycled leather from an old purse, yarn.

Techniques: Machine Pieced. Seams were pressed with wood iron (non-electric) whenever possible. All embellishments were attached by hand. No fusible adhesives, interfacings, or stabilizers were used in this quilt.
