I made simple patchwork quilts for bunk beds & back 'em with red flannel. My kids grew up and eventually a couple of those bunk quilts ended up in car trunks. I only asked them "don't use the quilt to change oil in the garage'. One quilt still exists as a dog bed. So, while they're the heaviest quilt you'll ever quilt, denim quilts do last a loooong time. I enjoy your blogs and lurk every day or so.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04932793480477155159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-2879404461198037402020-03-22T13:34:07.504-06:002020-03-22T13:34:07.504-06:00I have a while bunch of those circles cut from jea...I have a while bunch of those circles cut from jeans.

Now I remember the pattern I wanted to do - cathedral windows. And you just took some of the messy guessy starting stuff.

Another idea, for the kids, is to make a phone/earbud holder from the pockets. I got the idea from Bev at Flamingo Toes https://flamingotoes.com/easy-diy-phone-charger-holder/<br />I used the front pocket with the coin pocket. My niece loved it in her dorm! Thanks for sharing.

I also have stacks of jeans. I refrained from considering a denim afghan because of the weight of it. I might be thinking in terms of a sleeping bag. Not sure yet and I continue to collect jeans, lol.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-39979582702225953372020-03-20T10:22:55.144-06:002020-03-20T10:22:55.144-06:00How fun to have this activity with the kids.

I love the idea of the quilts you are doing.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09077658139465236292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4126317057339121070.post-57205309357366069902020-03-20T08:41:56.912-06:002020-03-20T08:41:56.912-06:00The "Sunny Side" of our current situatio...The "Sunny Side" of our current situation.
