These are some squares for a new piece which will be part of my Goodwill series. The Goodwill quilts are made mostly, if not exclusively, of fabric recycled from second-hand clothing. I'm liking the look and feel of heavy cotton that's been washed a lot. The colors are soft and yet have some of the same richness I admire in old quilts. Every piece of clothing has a story and there's just something about piecing all those stories together, even if I can't read them very specifically. I wish I still had that pair of lavender bell bottoms I wore for most of 8th grade. That color would be great in a quilt.
