"Magical Meanderings" - for the Stitch in time challenge 9.5
My first thought upon hearing the challenge was mending. I don't enjoy mending, and thought that if I didn't do the mending, I could just make something upcycled.
I took 5 flannel shirts and cut them down into squares - then stitched these into my background. I created the unicorn applique from 3 pairs of jeans. Then, I cut down the rest of the jeans to make the three side borders. I topstitched the denim seams open with a red thread.
I used a flannel for the backer, and quilted with a large meander in navy blue thread and bound it with red flannel from one of the shirts.
This quilt finishes at 70 x 70. I quilt in Madison, WI USA
