recycled/repurposed Denim projects
#211
I also did a faux cathedral windows from the equilter.com link posted previously. I made it from hubby's old jeans and work shirts. I also put scraps of batting in mine to make it heavier. He likes to feel the weight of a quilt on his legs.
I'm planning to make more for the grandkids to use as floor mats/nap mats. I'm going to zig zag the arcs down on the front of them and use flannel for the "windows". I probably won't put batting in them. I'm also going to whip out a raggy shaggy one with pink flannel alternated front & back for a great niece due in July. Her parents could wreck a crow bar in a sandbox so she will need something sturdier (and less of my hard work) than I normally give for baby quilts.

Beverly in Missouri... I love your quilt! Did you zig-zag the edges down? I looked up a tutorial on making this quilt and those are the instructions... but I'm wondering if you could simply sew a straight stitch about 3/8" (or more?) from the edge of each circle and let it fray as it's washed? A raw-edge applique' technique, sort of...
