I've been working for several months on a quilt for my Dad. He has told me many times that when he was a boy he loved his denim quilts. So, I decided to make him one and give it to him as a Christmas present.
I managed to finish the quilt in time, it didn't cost me a single cent, and he loved it!
I used recycled denim {from every closet in my extended family} and backed it with a flannel sheet that my sister gave me. It really didn't need batting as it was very heavy. Eight pounds! I already had the thread to tack it with as well. I made sure to use a sheet big enough to fold over for the binding because it is just easier for me to do it that way.
How'd it turn out?
