Well, I can tell you that Frank spent the the other night in his closet taking inventory. I guess he was making sure that was the ONLY pair of dockers I got my hands on. Hee Hee, actually I did go and find one more pair that was in equally bad shape. It was a slightly different shade of blue. I really wanted a black pair, but they seemed to be in good shape. I need to take scissors in there with me next time I go on a scouting mission.
Here is the blue jean quilt. It is a finished top now. Chloe the Smelly Basset likes it ---- a lot. She would not move so I could sew the sections together. I had to bribe her with a doggie bone.
The quilt top is so large that I spread it out in my kitchen. My kitchen is not small by any means. And the quilt takes up nearly the entire floor. I will have to get out the tape measure tomorrow and see just how big it is. See my knees and tennies? I had to get up on the cabinet to take the picture. Don't tell Frank, he hates when anyone sits on a counter. Like I am going to break it.....yeah right.
Here are leaves from Jessica. I am glad you did them, they look fabulous. And your work is very nice, really, I am not kidding!
And I have to admit, every time I think I am thinking outside the box, you gals just one-up me. But I love that too! Here I was going along dreaming of putting this quilt together and what it would look like and I get these in the mail today as well. I adore the green! When I opened the bags my first thought was..........oh no! I should have asked for green hand dyes for the background!
They opened up a whole new thought process in my head.
And we all know that could well be dangerous!
Thanks ladies! I love my leafies!

glad they arrived safely! i sat under a bunch of leaves today and quilted in Central Park.. i really appreciated their shade.
can't wait to see what your quilt looks like Glen~
I don't know what it is about blue jean quilts , but I think they all have to be really large. My quilt is almost a king size quilt and very, very heavy! It made for some great times at football games, though. Me all wrapped up and snug as a bug in my quilt and everyone else freezing! lol
I like your blue jean quilt. I had collected a bin full of jeans thinking I would make something with them. My DH brought them in from the garage and I think I will be spending time with those jeans pretty soon. What are you using as a backing? Including a batting? It seems like it would be very heavy enough without a batting.
I will post a photo when I get started on mine!
Everyone is so talented and creative. I am learning so much and love it!
