Reduce
To minimise the need to replace quilts, where practical purchase good quality quilts that can last a lifetime.
Repair
Rather than replacing your torn quilt, why not repair it. If you are not a confident sower, check out the Clothing alternations and repairs agents listed in the yellow pages.
Reuse
Quilts in good conditions can be onsold, donate to charity or taken to a second hand store.
If the quilt is torn or damaged, it could be reused as:
- Pet bedding
- Donate to the SPCA for bedding
- Cut the quilt into squares and make into new patchwork quilt
- Keep to foam stuffing for another project
