# The Coffee-Sleeve Quilt

[![](http://www.somisguided.com/images/coffee-quilt.jpg)](http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigertea/103871178/)

The amazingly talented Siobhan has constructed a quilt out of coffee sleeves. The finished quilt is a traditional design and measures 4’3″ x 5’6″. She used close to 200 used coffee sleeves. About 80% came from Starbucks. Reduce, recycle, reuse.

I guess the main point is the reduce part right? Reduce your waste. Siobhan collected 200 coffee sleeves from coworkers in a couple of weeks. I admit the recyle and reuse part of the project is very cool, but I’m taking my own mug down to the coffee shop today.

If you want to see more of the coffee-sleeve quilt, check out (http://www.flickr.com/photos/tigertea) or if you live in Vancouver the quilt is on display at the Seamrippers Quilt Show.
