Don't throw out those old jeans

What do you do with those jeans that just don't fit anymore or that have acquired a hole? How about this... a JEAN QUILT!

I never throw away or re-sale jeans because with a little bit of work they can become this. I love to turn them into baby quilts to give away as gifts. For this quilt I cut the jeans into squares and strips 5 inches in width. (I cut out any holes, fading, or stains) Then I sewed them all together. I just sewed them together randomly. I then added a cotton batting, a flannel back and some ties to bring the whole thing together. And there you have it something new and great out of something old that was just going to be thrown out.
