Recycling

Since I need to go to our local recycling center with bottles and  cans, I figured I better get that plastic bag (and a few others) emptied.  Sorted, stashed, slashed, and used fabrics.  The bags can now be cleared from the house.

  
I could save all these for the RSC16, but I wanted to use them up.  So a stack of green 9-patches were made.

Along with some red ones.  I did set aside some red scraps to go with another leader/ender project.

There weren't a lot of grey strips, but enough to make up a few tiny log cabin blocks.

Some green ones, too.

And of course - the reds.......

I found this wadded up in one bag.  I think my aunt may have started to make this as a border and then gave up on it.  I recognize a few fabrics that I had given her.  What to do with it?  The blades are made using a template and hand cut out and not all equal.  And some are not cottons.

Well, I carefully took it apart and scrapped the white - yes, I can throw out fabric.  And the non-cottons went into the trash, too.  I used one of the blades to make a cardstock template and cut some new ones from fabric out of that other baggy.  It's a start.  And yes, someone gifted me some cut-off triangles in a little baggy - a leader/ender project.  And you can see some of my little blue containers in the back - a few different leader/enders at hand.

And today there is a guest blogger with the most terrific 'recycle' quilt tutorial - I know I want to try this one myself.
