Denim Rag
 
1 Attachment(s)
I don't hardly ever post I mostly just lurk in the shadows. But I finished my first denim rag quilt and must say I am proud of it. The denim is my hubbys old clothes. The names are all people and places that, over a 60 yr span, have made my life what it is today. The designs are simple fill ins. Sorry I don't know how to turn it around.

Adictive. :)

Well done on getting this quilt finished. Denim can sometimes be a challenge with the thickness and the weight of the fabric.

SuziSew 02-19-2016 08:10 AM

I'm glad you decided to post!! It looks great and l love the way you personalized it!

If I can ask, what did you use on the back and did you use batting?

Wow - lot of work but well worth it.

skypony 02-20-2016 05:31 AM

That's ok. I can still see how it's supposed to go. LOL Anyway, that's great you used hubby's old jeans. The designs on the fabric are really cute. The raggyness really makes the jeans pop. Great Job.

Your quilt is such a special treasure and so beautifully and thoughtfully done. It will bring peace and comfort to you and those who follow you. I have a friend who lost her husband several years ago and has his clothing items and has wanted to make a memory quilt. I am going to share your picture with her for inspiration-I know she will like it a lot.

Easy to turn it right side up. Right click on the picture. Click on "view image" and it will turn picture right side up.

What a special personalized quilt, meant to be cuddled and evoke memories. How fun.

When people see your quilt, with their name on it, watch how their faces light up! Wonderful job!

jetayre 02-20-2016 09:40 AM

That's super-duper!!!!
