Crazy Pants Quilts!
 
3 Attachment(s)
I am friends with the local bluegrass DJ and emcee for events. His signature style is to wear pants made from very "interesting" fabrics for all the events he hosts. He also hosts a free bluegrass concert every year.
To help raise money for the concert, he gave me 30 pair of his pants to make quilts from. One quilt will be part of a raffle sponsored by our local PBS TV station and the funds will be donated to the free concert expenses.
The second quilt he will keep and use as a back drop for the different acts. He said it will become a family heirloom when he retires.
I used a pocket on both quilts to hold the labels. The label is attached to the inside of the pocket so it will only pull out far enough to read, and then can tuck back inside.
Here are the 2 quilts I made:
