In making this first quilt of ours, the lingo sometimes gets scrambled and turned upside-down. Apparently, we've been working on the border, not the sashing this entire time. Who knew? Well, now I do.
And the border (ahem) is finally completed!
It took a team effort. I required a lot of denim. And little kid jeans would not do (have you ever held up a pair of child-sized skinny jeans??? The amount of fabric in one leg is adequate enough to make a bookmark). No, I needed the real deal. The manly stuff. Dads who are big and tall.
It took seven pairs of men's jeans--tall men--to cull enough denim for our quilt's border. And with the help of one mom who cut them up and six kids who worked the sewing machine, we got that border stitched together in no time.
Oh, and let's not forget the one little sister who insisted on helping, too.
