Using Old Quilts for Filling

Have you ever wondered what to do with a worn and tattered old quilt? It’s not worth repairing…there are too many worn and torn pieces. However, you don’t want to throw it out. Perhaps you decide to cut it up and convert whatever is usable into pillows, toys, or wall hangings.

Why not use it for the filling of another quilt? It wouldn’t be a quilt you sell, but one for your own or family use. The older quilt, even though it isn’t seen, would still have more years doing “undercover work.”

Lisa at her Lisa’s Sew Fun blog, tells about doing this in her post, Behold Old Things Become New.

How have you used old quilts so that they don’t entirely disappear?
