I'm making two memorial quilts for the dd's of a friend whose son was killed this past year. I was given two big bags of his clothing. the cotton shirts and shorts were easy but there's not enough of them to make two. I also have a huge pile of blue jeans. I'd like to make the girls quilts similar so I'm wondering if I can take the blue jeans and make sashing between the cotton blocks? That would help stretch the blocks out so that I'll have enough to make the quilts the same. Will the quilt hold up ok mixing the fabrics?
This makes perfect sense to me so I hope it does to someone else! :)
