Make Your Own Denim Quilt With Old
Blue Jeans And Flannel Shirts... Or You Can Buy One Online!
A denim quilt can be an extremely fashionable and practical way to
decorate a bed. A delightful blend of denim and flannel can be
quilted
together in shades of all kinds of unique colors. You can pair your
cozy
quilt with matching shams and decorative pillows made from the
same
material.
The denim quilts available online come in a nice array of colors. In
addition to the standard blue, they are available in red, white and
cocoa brown. These quilts come with a cotton fill, which makes them
a
versatile quilt for any season.
Here is another great option; save those old blue jeans and flannel
shirts!
By making your own quilt, you have the advantage of cutting the
squares into
any size that you want. You can also mix other fabrics like old
flannel shirts or other patterned and colorful materials available
around
the house. Experienced quilters have the advantage here. However,
normal sewing will also work well.
You can create a "theme quilt"
and use it as a way of marking out milestones or occasions. For example, each year that a child grows older, another
layer
or patch can be quilted in.
Here is another idea for a comfortable keepsake or "theme quilt." Add
squares or pieces of your child's favorite clothes which they have
outgrown into the quilt. It will be an awesomely unique and
personalized
comforter for you and your child to treasure.
Additionally, quilts made with denim add the advantage of tremendous
durability... nothing is more durable than an old pair of jeans! Take them
through hell or high water, and they are just as comfortable as day
one...
and they can easily tolerate and survive frequent washings.
