That is a beautiful quilt. You did a wonderful job. I know your FIL must have loved it.

What pattern is that?

I think it was called circle jean quilt online somewhere. It's intent I believe is to create a faux cathedral window block. Lemme see if i can find the link...

I added batting under the shirt pieces to make it heavier and warmer. But in reality you wouldn't have to.

It's laying funny on the floor, the edging isn't actually twisted. The jeans are my hubbys, and a jean dress of late mIL's. Then the sweaters, shirts and dresses I got ahold of I cut up and made into the centers of the pieces. Once it was all done, I gave it to FIL for Christmas last year. Ended up being between a full and twin size. I had enough left over material to make each of her sons a matching pillow.

I was trying to figure out how you had sewn those pieces together and then realized there was a link with instructions. Oh, my.....I'll have to start one of those now. They look so hard to do but yet they are so easy.

Thanks for the link.

Now i have to go look at your instructions Acres to see how you put yours together...

very very nice!
