Recycling Blue Jeans....Again!
2 Attachment(s)
A really good friend had asked for a quilt for the back seat of her truck. I've been stalling for a couple of years because I wasn't sure what type of fabric or pattern to use since the quilt would be exposed to strong sunlight every day. I finally had the "AH HA!" moment, and thought of the used blue jeans I'd been collecting. I designed the Celtic pattern using directions from "Celtic Pieced Illusions" by Karen Combs. It was a little tough only using blue jeans to get the right combination of lights and darks, but I was pretty pleased with the results. So the 1st picture is the Celtic pattern quilt for my friend. The 2nd picture is the waste triangles left over from the Celtic pattern, plus a few more strips of blue jean leftovers. I just love recycling blue jeans! (Keeping my fingers crossed that I'm uploading the pictures correctly??)
