Beautiful mixing of colors! Much like the quilts by Alicia at
http://lucysquilts.blogspot.com where in 2001, she and her sister adapted the pattern from "Jewel Squares Window Cover" in Kaffee Fassett's "Glorious Patchwork" book. Alicia and her sister used 1" wide strips of black Kona cotton to separate the denim pieces, stitching with a true 1/4" instead of the scant 1/4" seam. That way they avoided heavy seams by stitching two layers of denim together. The key is that 1" wide strip that lets the denim just touch, not double, and press to the black strip. She says "I am not sure who adapted the pattern for denim but it was inspired." It is surely one I want to make.
