Grandson's quilt
Hi Quilters, this may be photo heavy, but I wanted you to see my process. I made these a few years ago, before I found this wonderful Quilting Board. It is made from my grandson's old jeans, but a whole lot of others too, as it is queen size and made it very heavy. I made it before he married and then made the pillowcases and shams after.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606802[/ATTACH]I had no official rulers so I used an ice cream bucket lid instead of cardboard.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606801[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]606803[/ATTACH]I did a satin stitch all around the raw edge of the jean curves. It took a Lot of thread-lol[ATTACH=CONFIG]606805[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]606807[/ATTACH]His girlfriend then, wife now, joked with him about the light colored jeans that Were his at one time-lol-I told him the variation made it pretty. You can see in this photo with the quilt in the box, how much he liked and appreciated it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606810[/ATTACH]I hope you all do too.

I am afraid I over did it with the photos so I grouped some together....he is my grandson and you're welcome. Thank you, I enjoyed making it and showing you.
