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 wanted to add this link to the post -- visit the Bonnies' website where there is a big section dedicated to people doing this mystery quilt.  QuiltVille I just pulled the fabrics today - Here are the fabrics Im going to use. I did not think I was going to have enough prints of each of the colors -- and Im still not sure I like my tones of grey -- they are very close to the whites -- and I dont think thats the goal. But, for today Im done picking fabrics. Im working on other projects now. Posts to follow.
