I'm making a quilt for Josh who's 16. I've commandeered worn out blue jeans from the fellows that work around the park so they show tears, seams, labels and old paint. I'm thinking that a teen won't want a quilt that is too neat and fancy. It's my usual fun, creating as I go. I always back them with flannel because it's so cosy but it is a stretchy fabric, so hard to sew with. I'm a lucky gal - not everyone has a 12 x 16' sewing room like I do to lay out the 3 layers so see how it looks.
