I remember back in the 70's, I was just barely in high scoop. Anyways, my grandmother was a quilter, and I wanted to too. Although I had started making clothes for myself, from the fabric of larger pieces of clthes, I really wanted to make a quilt. My grandmother had recently lost one of her dear friends, and gave me all of her friends double knit pants, lol. I don't remember the name of the technique she taught me, but I stll remember he quilt. I sat for hours and cut squares out of those pants, sewed them together some how, I don't remember that part, but when they were done, it formed an "x" acoss each of them. I do remember it being a bright quilt, as the double knit was colorful back then.
