It seems like some jeans come with very few belt loops - DH likes more than what come on them - so I frequently add two to four more belt loops to his jeans - so the idea wasn't TOTALLY ridiculous![/quote]

That is soo right! And most women's jeans are, luckily enough, made to fit below the waistline, so with my long torso and short legs, I can belt them at the waist and make them fit better. BUT they are usually lacking in enough belt loops in the back, so I keep any fabric from the ones I must hem up, and when I find a match I put in two extra belt hoops. And I don't like making them but they do make pants fit better.

I'm really loving this idea !!
you could save them up from a few pairs of jeans
attach waistbands to top of back of quilts
that you hang for display and loop a rod thru it.
