Trash To Treasure Tuesday

My "trash" this week is a quilt that I made from old blue jeans. There are jeans that used to belong to me, my husband, my girls, my dad and even a couple of friends. The star fabric is scraps from some sewing that I did for a showroom in Columbus, Ohio. I squirrelled it away some time ago, saving it for just the perfect project. The ticking is from our "scrap" bin at the shop. Stop on over at A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words and see who else is participating this week.

    I absolutely love jean quilts and yours is wonderful with all the different colors and memories by those in your family!
    I too made one this year as part of a challenge of not buying anything to make a quilt. It is at the bottom of my side bar...:-)
    They are so warm and cozy for this time of the year.
    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    Your quilt blows me away. A great idea for little money. I wish I could see the whole thing. Nice job.
