Here's another denim craft to make. I love to recycle. Fun to recreate lovely things. I made this out of old jeans and feed bags. The one side the seams do not show, the other side they do and are cut with a scissors and washed in order to make it fringe more. The one solid pink square on the side that has all printed blocks and denim was a mistake.

Did you know that the Amish always have a "mistake" in their quilts, or so it is told, because they do not want to offend God, since only He can make something perfect.
I would have done the same thing too. Although I am interested in the Amish belief too. But then my sewing there is always something a "mistake". But I have blocks all cut out for a quilt, I started a trial piece and the machine seemed to get gummed up real quick.
Nice. Reminds me of the quilt I had as a child.
What a beautiful quilt. I like the pastel pink and blue colors together. And the denim must make it very warm and cozy.
May I have specific instructions on how to make this quilt? Also, what is a feedbag and where can I buy them?
I was just making it, when I came across your post. Such a coincidence. LOL.

Pretty quilt. I am a fabric hoarder and I believe somewhere in my stash I still have feedbags, (years ago feed was put in fabric print feedbags, my grandmother use to make me summer tops out of them)
