Green Quilting
Quilting is entering the green age. If you think about it, quilting owes its existence to conservation, transformation, and the ingenuity of people who were trying to make the most of what they had. I have a romantic notion of those beginnings, so I’m inclined to embrace the idea of going green with my quilting.
I’ve never been one to bulk up on sprays and glues. I like all-cotton batting, and I try to conserve fabric as much as I can. I’ll even rework or postpone patterns I like that look like they just waste too much fabric along the way.
I’m not alone in my thinking. Quilters and conservationists around the web are blogging about greening the way we live our quilting lives. The links below will give you a representative sample. Whether you admire the Amish philosophy, want to conserve by using up your stash, or would like to know more about earth friendly quilting products like soy or bamboo based fabrics and batting, there’s someone who shares your interest or point of view.
