BYU Quilt

Mr G loves heavy, fuzzy quilts. His favorite quilt is one I made years ago. It is denim on the front and flannel on the back and it is huge, at least a king size. He loves to sleep with it and it is an absolute pain to wash. For his birthday, I decided to make him a new, smaller quilt. Mr G loves BYU, so perfect - a BYU demin quilt.
I borrowed a handy little projector (I'm going to have to get one of those!). I traced the BYU logo onto the quilt, cut it out and then appliqued it on. So easy and quick! The demin back took a bit longer. I cut up old family jeans into squares and sewed them back together. I love recycling fabric! Mr G loved his quilt. Now I just have to quilt and bind it (didn't quite get that done before his birthday!).

    Whoa! When i was reading about the BYU logo, but hadn't scrolled down to the picture, I had NO idea it was going to be that big! Great job! Again, you amaze me.

    That's cool!! I started saving/cutting up jeans this last month (since Preston's blown the knees out of like 4 pairs). I totally want to make a jean blanket.
