Blue jean circles and miscellaneous cotton squares. It will be a coverlet, which is not exactly a quilt but sort of.



It's all rough edges and primitive hand-sewing but it will keep someone warm. I got the idea here.

Where did you learn how to hand-sew quilts? That's something I've always wanted to learn how to do. Love the idea of using old blue jeans.

There's a very shallow learning curve for quilting. Can you thread a needle? If so, you can quilt. Cut fabric into pieces. Sew back together with needle and thread. Make a sandwich of the pieced top, a layer of batting, and a big piece of fabric for the back. Sew those three layers together, or tie them together. It's really just that simple. Don't be intimidated. Uh oh. I just thought of a new blog I could create. Mylovelyquilts.
