Why Do We Say "Pair Of Jeans"?

Is it because there is two legs?
And if so why don't we say "Pair of Sweater"?
It does have two arms!
OK--this is the stuff I ponder when quilting.
I am so... thankful for audible books.

So I had the privilege of having Sandra's 
"Pair Of Jeans Quilt" on my frame!
Sandra made this quilt using the jeans
 from her grandsons collection.
 This quilt will be going off with him
to college this fall.
She didn't want batting but choose a great flannel
 for the back. I did a all-over meander for the quilting.
I am sure he will be nice and warm while studying to
become a Dentist.

Eleanor's Gift!

I would like to introduce you to, 
Eleanor!



 This is a quilt that she made for her
mother's Birthday!
The color selection was Perfect,
 as is all of her quilts.
She has a gift of color selection.



 She choose to have the quilting in a
Vine/Heart swirl.



 Which went so... well with the
 beautiful flower material.



Eleanor lights up a room with her
Warm & Loving Personality!

And that is exactly how I would describe
 this piece she made for her mother!
"Warm & Loving"
