Years ago, I decided to make patchwork quilts out of old jeans for my two sons' beds. I thought I had plenty of outgrown jeans but it is surprising how many pairs you need for a quilt. I was beginning to mooch round charity shops! Anyway, various friends donated to the cause so I made a start.
One day I was stitching away and there was a knock on the door from a man asking to use the phone because his car had broken down. (Pre mobile phone days)
We had a cup of tea while he waited for the AA and he asked about the dozens of denim triangles and remains of jeans all over the place so I showed him my quilt.
Eventually his car was fixed and off he went.

The next day, I found a bag full of old jeans on my doorstep.
This is one of the quilts I was making.
