We made picnic blankets of Denim. We placed recycled pockets near the corners and tucked the large red handkerchief into the pockets (for the napkins).I lined them with bright flannel and included a note telling them "this quilt is meant to be used,sit on me at a picnic nap under me when you are tired"
Also used my grand daughter's jeans with embroidery and sequins. They made up into a colorful memory quilt for her
