This is a blue jean lap sized quilt. I bought about 15 pairs of blue jeans from the Salvation army. On Wednesday's you get them at half price so I paid about $2.00 for a pair. I washed them and cut them up into 4inch x 8 inch blocks. I staggered them like bricks to prevent sewing through four bulky seams and this really worked out great for me. I then quilted it in straight lines going in one direction with three different color types of thread about one inch apart. I did use a cotton batting but it still quilted well and has the right amount of weight. It is also very warm. I love it.
