Grandson's quilt
 

Hi Quilters, this may be photo heavy, but I wanted you to see my process. I made these a few years ago, before I found this wonderful Quilting Board. It is made from my grandson's old jeans, but a whole lot of others too, as it is queen size and made it very heavy. I made it before he married and then made the pillowcases and shams after.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606802[/ATTACH]I had no official rulers so I used an ice cream bucket lid instead of cardboard.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606801[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]606803[/ATTACH]I did a satin stitch all around the raw edge of the jean curves. It took a Lot of thread-lol[ATTACH=CONFIG]606805[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]606807[/ATTACH]His girlfriend then, wife now, joked with him about the light colored jeans that Were his at one time-lol-I told him the variation made it pretty. You can see in this photo with the quilt in the box, how much he liked and appreciated it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]606810[/ATTACH]I hope you all do too.

Amazing! Love that there are lots of photos showing the process you used. The photo of the hug shows how much your son loved your effort. Thanks for sharing :-)

That is just amazing!!

it's a beautiful quilt

I am afraid I over did it with the photos so I grouped some together....he is my grandson and you're welcome. Thank you, I enjoyed making it and showing you.

That is an amazing project. You made him a beautiful quilt filled with love. Best wishes to them!

That is such a wonderful & beautiful gift you made for your grandson! He will cherish that all his life. Thank you for sharing your journey in making it. It's such a special quilt with great memories.

The hug is extra special....with or without the quilt. Love shows through. You did an extremely good job on this quilt and it's amazing.

great quilt! I have made a couple of those myself.... my favorite picture is him hugging you :) <3
