My Blue Jean Quilt


After all the cutting of squares was completed, I realized that I had enough of them to make 2 full size quilts!  One I intend to back with a somewhat psychodelic peace print for Pierce to carry off to university this fall.  The other, I backed with a more sedate brown and blue floral print.  Which is much closer to my aesthetic.

Rather than actually quilting it, I simply tacked with matching embroidery thread.

Boy, this sucker is heavy!  Approximately 10 pounds!  But it is perfect for what it is intended for.  Picnics, outdoor concerts, etc.  I hope to have Pierce's quilt completed sometime next week.  An adorable baby kitty named Yoda is taking up all my free time these days!
