Quick Denim Quilt (improv Quilt With Instructions)
"This quick denim quilt project is one I made to get myself out of a sewing ‘rut’. It uses old jeans and leftover fabric strips. I lost my drive and confidence with quilting and sewing projects a bit after I’d finished the mountains of sewn Christmas gifts I made this past year. I had started loads of different projects after the New Year but I kept reaching a point with them where I would look at it and say ‘this is awful – I don’t want to finish it. So with this denim quilt what I did was start it intentionally as something I HAD TO FINISH. It did not turn out perfect, but it did get finished! And as an exercise in unsticking me from my sewing slump it absolutely worked!"
