we make 4 jean quilts a year to donate to our church and fire department raffle. I cut 8 1/2 squares. It is 8 x10 squares. My husband built a quilt frame with 3 rollers on it. We put batting it, flannel on the back and tie it with pearl cotton. Husband also does the pining because he thinks I'm to slow. I also take all the thread out of the pockets and replace the thread to match the flannel color. I use a stretch stitch sewn 4 times so it shows up. We take one block to the embroidery shop that will say Buenie Fall Prime Rib 2014, Holy Cross North Buena Vista Fire Department 2014, Buenie Picnic 2014. People also give me jeans when they find out we donate.
