Ive decided to use the jeans.. Apparently this post got posted twice.. WHOOPS..
On the other post a member posted a link to a jean quilt she wanted to make..
BINGO !!!! that was it.. I knew it was the one.. Right then and there I knew I WANTED to make hubby THIS jean quilt..
OK so I was over excited and I decided to do a test run.. I
OMGosh.. !!! It was soooo easy. my sewing machine sewed thru it like butter..
I used my GO die to cut the 5in circles, then I used my 3.5in Die to cut the sqs, but the sqs do need to be cut down some- so im thinking i need to rotary cut the sqs down to 3.25in and I think it will fit better..
I havent decided yet if I want batting.. Its seems pretty light so I may put warm & natural as hubby likes the weight of his blankets pretty heavy- he's so opposite from me.. but Its for him so Im thinking it will have batting..
this is just a sample.. the center sqs will all be scrappy, definitely not all the same like the pic..
So whatcha think??
