Not only have I saved some beautiful magazines from just going to the dump, but I have also created a beautiful, recycled quilt for my wall!

I just hate to throw magazines out, and I always have. A great magazine is a tiny library time-capsule in itself. The thing is... they overtake the space of any room they are in, ultimately. Even a small stack of 50 is a force to contend with.

These magazines in all of their glory have magnificent color, mesmerizing photos, and a multitude of textures! As I looked at these piles of magazines and while I took a quick flip through some of them again, it hit me! I could make a paper quilt! </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://myitthings.com/Waterrose/Post/house/It_Decor/Stop__Don_t_Throw_Away_That_Magazine_/976222008173329809.htm">There were pictures that would make great applique when I cut them out. I tore out pages and sorted colors. I got my paper cutter out...I was ready to go. I began cutting strips and wove them together in color combinations. Once woven I cut them into shapes. I matched "seams." Made sure my points matched and intersections were perfect. Then I made the borders.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FB46DFBE-616E-4EB5-817D-0A8C0D911ECE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
