Henry's Quilt

Here's the quilt I made for Henry. I saw a magazine photo where they had cut out circles and inserted fabric behind them. I had a few pairs of worn-out jeans, so I thought I'd give it a try. As I got braver, I realized I could even cut and sew through the seams of the jeans. Some of the inserted fabric is flannel, and it includes pieces from the sheepie sheets the girls had when they were young. I also used the more worn parts of the sheepie sheet flannel in between the denim top and the flannel backing, instead of batting. The quilt is a rag quilt, where blocks are completed, then sewn together with the seams on the back of the quilt. The seams are then fringed and the quilt washed. The fringe then blooms and is stabilized.
