“Old, mismatched socks can make a great simple rug or quilt that works well for a homespun look, or for a dog blanket. To make the rug or quilt, you’ll need long, flat, tube-style socks that are about the same size. The colors and styles don’t have to match. Large men’s socks are the easiest to use. You can sew the sock rug or quilt by machine or by hand.”

The link below will walk you through step-by-step how to make your own quilt. The best part about this project is that each quilt will be unique. There will never be two the same, that’s for sure. Consider this quilt instead of the t-shirt quilt that so many people are doing these days. My kids have quite the sock fettish, so they have all kinds of fun socks. This will be a great quilting idea for them. I know I’m keeping this one for future reference.
