Ad Hoc Imporvisational quilt - June prompt

The prompt this month was for clothing recycling. Well, I have plenty of projects to fit that! The first project will be the piece I started in the Gee's Bend workshop at QuiltCon in 2015. We were to bring some old clothes and work on starting a quilt top out of them. I brought two denim shirts that I did not wear, a beige shirt, and a red polo shirt. I remember Mary Ann Pettway asking me how big I was going to make my piece. I said I would keep sewing until I run out of fabric from the shirts. She smiled and approved. Here is the piece as it stands right now. When time ran out the ladies were happy to pose for pictures. I asked them to sign my piece. They looked at me and said really? You want us to write on your piece? I said yes! They said nobody ever asked them to do that before. I was glad two of the ladies dated it too.

So now I will play around with the fabric I have left and get this top finished. I have the perfect place to hang it in my living room once I get it done. I also have a pile of clothes that were my Dad's that I want to make a couple quilts out of for a couple of my brothers and I have a box of linens that I have collected over the years and think they will make an interesting quilt.

I managed to get a bit more cleaned up in the future garden bed. Here is the current condition. I had to leave that fern! It was too pretty to rip out!

At the far end there is still some weeds I need to clean up and I ran out of rocks. I have some concrete blocks that I will used until more rocks find their way into my life. I did dig a hole in the bed as you can see with the darker dirt. I plan on transplanting some of my Lenten roses in this bed to grow along with the squash.
