TWO amazing quilts!!! do you have any suggestions for seam allowances? I made a simple HST dog bed once, out of denim recycled from jeans, but after the first washing, the 1/4" seams I used began to unravel!! What seam allowances did you use? Did you use a serger?
Your quilts are just beautiful!!!

Okay.. (sheepish grin) I just read through all the posts and found answers to my questions... I didn't realize I was so "behind" ha ha...

Again... Your quilts are wonderful...

I just went through my closet, dresser drawers, etc. and got a box full of old jeans I'm not wearing anymore. I made one bag for a little girl, but that only took one pair. This is an excellent idea! Thanks for sharing your pictures.

great job with some great patterns. i've always stayed away from triangles in denium, feeling the seams were too bulky, so i've just done rectangles and squares and strips.
