Wow! Beautiful!
I am currently working on my first machine sewn quilt (I am an EPP so it goes slowly, I want to complete a project before I fall off the perch!)...a denim rag with flannel back, I am using a really thin polar fleece as "batting" and x in the middle to hold it still. 1/2 inch seam allowances all round. I also saved bits and pieces and have done some big squares in crazy and strips, I think it's morphing into a quilt. I hadn't thought of doing log cabin. Thanks so much for sharing your pics.

I got most of the jeans from charity shops, sometimes they have 50% off and you can get them for $1 each. Big sizes give more fabric. I am sincerely thankful for all the 80's tragics who are clearing their closets...acid wash, stone wash and colours like red, purple and green. Watch out for those containing elastane (not always on the label) they don't "rag".

Now if my husband would stop having the "cast of thousands" over each week I can leave the dusting and sprucing and get on with the important stuff of life - quilting!
