Wonderful quilt & story! I would also go for the sewing machine. You will appreciate it after sewing all that denim by hand!

Welcome to QB! Losing weight is wonderful and hand-quilting is a very special talent! You are so fortunate to be able to do that. The quilt looks cuddly and what a wonderful way to use old jeans. "Waste not, want not." Way to go! Hope to see more posts of your work as you do it.

That is so awesome! Congratulations! I love your quilt too.
