recycled quilt

 I thought I would post a pic of the jean tumbling blocks quilt on display. I love the borders. George, looking ready to tell me to stop taking flash pics of him. This is all made from khaki and other mens dress pants. I started to add borders - I wanted the quilt to be a king size - and decided the green/gold colors would make a great addition to the other tones in the quilt. But, the green was too much alone - so I added some applique stars. Before the applique Free Motion quilting -- Well, here is the finished quilt --  I really love the quilt - of course one pic had to decide not to fall where I wanted it. The quilt is huge. King size with nearly 20 inc drop and tuck. Huge.

I needed to take a break from the small pieces quilts. This quilt is sewn over an old ugly quilt that I made and never really liked. Its all applique on top of the old top. It has a little binding on it now and nothing more. A few flowers - a fence - and a path -- thats what I see. I like it - for what it is intended to be. its 100% ugly polyester fabric - heavy - and perfect for hard use!

2 years ago I bought this "fleece" stuff from the local retail fabric shop - I guess I thought everyone I knew wanted a pair of tree PJ's? Well, it was on clearance for about 7-% off and cost about .75 cents a yard - so I bought a pile of it and now its going to make the best batting for this quilt! Use it up!
