    They are quite heavy enough without batting. Why make extra work?

    Jordan - - My sister had a quilt made from old blue jeans that her husband's grandma made. It was just basic squares with flannel on the back. My sons used to spend the night with their cousins alot when they were young. the other day my oldest told me I should make a quilt like that..... here is a picture I am sure I will have to change somethings around but he has some good memories of that old jean quilt

    I start with the larger 10 in. and go down until there are not anymore I can cut. The 3 in. make great baby quilts. It is just however you want to do. Have fun. I even embroidery on some of my levi quilts, depending on whom they are for.
