Pierce's Blue Jean Quilt


Well, I finally finished Pierce's blue jean quilt.  He is thrilled with it and that makes me very happy.  As before, I simply tacked it.  This time using a bright orange thread that matches the backing fabric.

I would have preferred to back it with a red "bandana" fabric but couldn't locate a single yard within a 40 mile radius.  I wonder what is up with that?

He is already looking forward to carrying it off to university this fall.  He says it is "just the thing" for the impromptu adventures he and his friends tend to have - geocaching, campus wide events, attending local music festivals, camping, etc.

Well, I had to look up geocaching, old lady that I am! It sounds pretty cool!

And the quilt is perfect for outdoor adventures, being made of sturdier stuff. Good job!

LOL Lisa! I know, the first time he told me what they were planning to do I was like "excuse me? What in the world is that"? But they love it and they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I would attempt it if I thought I could keep up with them and survive the experience!
