My 9 year old grandson wanted a denim quilt like his big brother's. Which was made over 20 year ago. I had saved the backs of the legs and below the knee on the front. Light, dark and medium denim. Cut them to 7, 8, 9 inch widths using the rotary cutter and ruler. We made the quilt in two sessions. He learned to use the sewing machine so quickly. We lapped the front over the back 1 inch and then he sewed 1/2 inch from the edge with a fancy stitch (so it would hold better).Used the quilted portion of an old mattress pad so no quilting was necessary.
