A number of years ago, I made a series of small quilts which were framed and hung in my living room. These pieces have since been replaced by other framed art, but I kept the quilts just in case...now I'm very glad I did.
Cut up quilt to 3x3, add beads and charm, adhere to canvas frame.
Place on an easel and voila - it turned out just right!

How wonderful of you to make this gift for your friend and return their kindness. Happy Friday!
what an original idea small quilts for framing and then a splendid gift in her recycled phase...very sweet of you.
That's absolutely lovely! You are just wonderful. Now that I'm doing better, giving back is a goal for my retirement times coming soon! It feels so good!
Gorgeous!

It's beautiful Pat. I'm sure the recipient will be thrilled!
What a great idea to cut up the old quilt! Your new piece is wonderful and I'm sure the recipient was thrilled with it.
How cute! I wish I had a few like this in laying around piles. I have some minis, but they are traditional.
That is absolutely incredible! WOW.
Pat this is so cute!! Love the idea of repurposing something special...I have several old quilts that could be remade into some cute things. Love this one all decorated and on a little stand!
You are just a sweetheart to do this for your friend...and it's beautiful to boot....I have ideas stirring in my head after reading this post....
