Isn't this interesting?

Quilt: Cut a 6" square of cotton material. Fold over as triangle, wrong side out. Sew both sides, leaving a one inch opening. Turn triangle right side out. Using a knitting needle, distribute one nylon stocking into the one inch opening. Make more similar triangles and sew them together, forming a square. When the quilt is completed to desired size, bind the edges with wide folded bias tape. Do not use cotton top or cotton foot stockings. The quilt can be machine washed.

Sounds like it may take part time ownership in a stocking factory..... depending on how big you make it.

INteresting, are you going to make it?

I may make one block of four to see how it looks. I'll use polyfill instead of the nylons though.
