This lively and lovely lap quilt was fun to make.
I cut circles from old denim jeans and sewed them right sides together to create a square in the center with "flaps". Into that square I put a variety of scraps, then sewed the curved flaps over the material in a serpentine pattern along the cut edges of the denim.
Once the quilt was washed the denim edges frayed, adding charm and definition to the overall pattern.
I would do this again; the quilt is heavy and the recipient of this quilt admits it is warm. This would make a great blanket to keep in the back of the car for any sort of emergency - a surprise picnic, padding for a delicate thrift store find, or a leg warmer on a cold road trip.
