My Wednesday Work in Progress is a denim quilt. It might be a
bit premature to call it a work in progress as I haven't gotten beyond
the planning stage. What I do have is a bunch of jeans from my cousin.
I
offered to make a quilt for my cousin's daughter as she is the only
grandchild (there are 13) of my aunt who recently passed away who had
not yet received a denim quilt from her grandmother. As it happened, my
cousin had been collecting jeans for her daughter's quilt.
We
found some flannel for the quilt back in my aunt's fabric stash, as
well as some fabric for the binding if needed (too soon in the design
process to know how I'll be finishing the edges). I will be piecing the
flannel with some Minky fabric as the flannel piece is not large enough
for the backing.
My
cousin used to work for Levi and Roots. My challenge will be
incorporating their labels, as well as some pockets or other elements of
the jeans - beyond the denim itself - into the quilt.
