Oh, gosh, this brings back memories! I cut the legs off my polyester doubleknit slacks right after marrying Mr. Braun. He loved to drive to Galveston or Crystal Beach and park on the beach (that was when you could). I sewed those pieces of legs together and made our beach quilt. We tied a knot in the corner and rolled up the window on his little Subaru on that, tied knots on the other three corners and used broom handles, etc. to stake them up in the sand! We put our recliners under it with our cooler and enjoyed the breezes from the water! We looked like bedouins - the photos are very colorful!not the salt water, ocean breeze, sand, etc. ever hurt that quilt! It's still somewhere in his workshop! I lost him in June and it is wonderful to recall that memory! Thanks!
