What a cool idea. I made a blue jean quilt for my oldest Grandson once, from cut offs I did for him in the summer time. He still has it. Sewed buttons on some of the squares. Wrote a poem and put it on the back of the quilt. Only things is my daughter washed it to much and the poem came off. It was the iron on kind.
I do not sew but wonder if someday I can con some material scraps from my DIL. I am hoping she will get the quilting but as the boys get older tho as neither of my daughter are that interested.
