I made my King Size quilt for almost free with reclaimed, up cycled materials

Here is a look at the king size quilt I made for almost free, using reclaimed fabrics and materials. I didn’t use batting - I used clean, salvaged pillow stuffing… block by block, all 99 of them! I hope you enjoy my process and are inspired to try up cycling and saving discarded clothing from landfill by turning it into something beautiful and useful. Thanks for watching!

Your diligence and integrity is evident in your hand sewing and your ability to make a gorgeous quilt and shams from existing resources! 💜 I love it!

Oh I love this! What a fantastic method! And I love that you’ve used stuff you already had! So impressive! And you hand quilted all those blocks! Wow that would’ve taken a while but I bet was so enjoyable :) thanks for sharing this :)

[@DelightfullyDara]

Thank-you so much! Yes, it took me about 3 months to do the quilting . But it was worth it. Thanks for your comment and your kind words.

Watching from England. Loved how you created and put this all together and persevering to the end. Well worth all the effort as you've created a unique beautiful quilt 🥰

[@DelightfullyDara]

Thank-you so much - it did very like a marathon - it was took me an entire winter of working on it most afternoons and evenings - Thanks for the lovely compliment.

Thank-you very much for your kind comment!

Very nice job! I am particular to scrappy quilts and reusing materials. Don't be too critical of your work; it's all part of the homemade vibe.

[@DelightfullyDara]

Thank you so much!

[@joydalton4987]

Well it was wonderful watching you and I do enjoy your banter, you are very entertaining. Those kinds of material scare me I really feel better just sewing with cotton, but I’m sure Somebody will be happy to try this. I’m not comfortable sewing garments.

Thank-you for stopping by my channel and for your comment!

I love this quilt. I'm also casual about edges, etc. Though I am learning better techniques, I will never be the one eith a near perfect quilt.

[@DelightfullyDara]

Thank-you for the compliment and its very gratifying to know I'm not the only one who embraces perfectly imperfect😄.

[@lbmom12]

Love it my son has me so many unused shirts will try to make one can't go for king size will get discouraged discouraged nice work

[@DelightfullyDara]

Thank-you! I appreciate it and wish you the best with your project! I made a throw size out of my husbands dress shirts - the shirts wear out at the collar and cuffs but so much great fabric still left in them - its one of the reasons I started trying my hand at quilting.

[@user-zd9gx6mr3s]

Hello from the UK, your quilt is perfectly imperfect, its very unique and very much as I imagined a part handmade quilt should look like. ❤

Hi Dara! I'm a new subscriber and getting ready to venture into quilting. Love this idea! And you have executed it beautifully. Thanks for keeping it real and showing your work-arounds. Help? What size and type of needles did you use for your machine stitching and your hand stitching? Thanks! And keep 'em coming!!! Greetings from St. Louis, MO. ~Kelly🪡

[@DelightfullyDara]

wow I'm so pleased you will give it a try! Hand stitching - just any old variety pack of needles from the fabric store - then keep experimenting with the size/thickness until you find one that YOU find comfortable in your hand and with the items you are sewing. - That's what I do. Machine needles were 80/12 or 90/14 sharps - I think these are basically "all purpose" sizes.

Priceless!
