I made a pair of ruffle pants the other week out of this material. I was is a quilt mood last week and since it was on top of the pile I started sewing and cutting. I first cut two 2 inch strips out of the leftovers and then sewed each set together. I then cut 3.5 inch squares out of that. I laid them out till they made a rectangle. I tried to make a "L" pattern. I sewed the strips together and measured the size I would need to cut for the center. I then sewed the outside strips to the center. I used the same material for the back and the binding. I quilted it using a rectangle maze pattern. Not to happy with the binding but I decided not to redo it.
I gave it to my friend Jennifer who I share doing my business with. They just moved into a new house and I have a goal of making something for her each holiday. Her house burnt down a few years ago and I want to replenish her stock of holiday items!!!
Here is a photo of the pants! They are too cute!
