Leaves and Blue Jeans - - - An update

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.



There are some pretty cool features in the quilt. I will square it up tomorrow and see what happens









I did get some leaves today. You all just know what I need! That is why I love you guys so much!

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!

  2. Several times in the last day or so, either big T or me would burst out laughing about Frank and his docker's. You made our day, week, month. Looks good on the floor too - have you thought about a blue denim rug - just a thought. Somebody had a tutorial on a quilted rug with long strips (as in jean legs) woven into a rug.
