Default Jean quilt

When my father passed away, I took about 30 pair of jeans apart, saved pockets, loops, everything that I might eventually use. I made six of his grandchildren large throws with their initials embroidered in the 6x6 blocks, I lined them with red fabric. and the initials were in red. I still have not given them to the kidsbecause I don't have all of them finished, but they turned out wonderful. I put batting between the top and bottom. The first one I madeI tacked it at the corners, but since then I have bought a longarm and the 2nd one I quilted on the long arm. I so spend he time it will be wonderful in the future for he gkids.When I would put the iron to the fabric I could smell the scent of my fathers after shaveeven though they had been washed time and time again.
