I took all my kids old bell bottom cords and used the legs. I made just simple big squares and made my son a quilt. I used a matching striped bed sheet for backing. and made dk brown binding. Makes a great quilt. I hand quilted it with just simple criss cross lines. Added a few purchased or begged for (Can I have a peice of that?) brighter colors to help offset all the browns and blues. He was in his 50's when I gave it to him. His younger brother wants one now too.
