I started this quilt over 11 years ago when I bought my first home, before I got married. I got really frustrated because some of the denim is stretch denim and I couldn't get it to line up right. Each row was a different length, so I set it aside. I was going through a box and found this and decided I would shorten blocks as needed to make it work just so I could get it done and over with, lol! Its from clothes my girls wore growing up and the batting is from an old king size mattress cover that I added pieces to to fit the quilt. The yarn for tieing, the thread I stiched it together with and the binding are the only parts not recyled. Its quiet heavy! My husbands loves it, both the colors and how heavy it is, so its going in our motor-home for when we travel.
