    I am really new to posting & quilting so here goes. I was doing some cleaning & found some old cutains that I had had in my daughters room when she was young(she is now nearly 31). They are gingham squares in pink, green, yellow & blue with lace around them. I thought of cutting each square with a little of the lace around it, then putting a solid color(pink,yell. blu ect..) of each color around the gingham and doing it onto a YO-YO quilt top. I like to do that kind of hand work while I sit n watch tv or when we go camping. Any ideas would be appreciated from anyone! I will be posting a pic as promised when I can take the time to fiqure out how to post a pic. Just finished a cathedrel window quilt, pillow & valance out of denim for my 8yr old grandson. I had seen it on a website months ago and had been saving old jeans for 38 yrs. They are all washed, dried & ready for another quilt or whatever i decide. Now my husband wants one! Thats a laugh since ALL I heard while saving them was"you'll never do anything with them just throw them away!) Yeah, he's eating his words!!

    Can't wait to see pics. Some people just can't envision the finished quilt. Now he knows what HE wants! Way to go:)
