I have been wanting to make a denim quilt for a while now and I had no idea how I was going to do it. So I left the design up to a dear friend and told her that what ever she came up with that was what it was going to be!

She told me that it should be a mixture of cotton fabrics and the denim and we both had the idea of a Red and White Plaid fabric for the design. I was out thrift store shopping and found this pretty Red fabric that looked like something she would use and bought it, 6 yards for $2!! After I showed her the photo of the fabric I found she said that would be the exact kind of print that she would have picked!

She said that it had a picnic in the hay loft kinda feel to it and I will have to agree.

And this is what we came up with.......

I like, I like... That will turn out great..Just keep on posting pics as you get it done...

Looking good.

I love denim quilts! this will be a beauty.

I like it!

The funny thing about it is that I cobbled a Singer 66 together from 3 parts machines and that is the machine I am using to make the quilt with. It sews through the denim like it is nothing at all and there are layered seams all in it.

Billy

Lookin' Good! I can't wait to see more of it :D:D:D

Love the fabrics together and love the pattern! Keep us posted, sir!! :)

I like it very much! Please show us more photos as you work on the quilt.

It's great! What a deal on the fabric too! Anxious to see more pictures!

Yep lookin good, waiting to see some more! :D

Thats really pretty.. Looks vintage.. very very nice :)

Looks great. Can't wait to see the rest.

I am really excited about this quilt and I think it will be gorgeous when it is finished. I can only work on it in the evenings and the weekends after business hours so it might take a while to finish it.

But I only have 71 more blocks to make!!

Billy

OOOoooooooooo! Billy I can't wait to see it done.

The block is beautiful! but why do you have to use a print as well as the denim? Is it to make a pattern -or pieces show?

I wish I had a thrift store that good!

Very nice!

Talk to the designer I am only the guy putting it together!! :D

I think it is just what she preferred and I really like the mix of color. She has an eye for what works with what and she likes to think outside of the box. To me she is the greatest!

Billy

Looking forward to seeing this one finished. :thumbup:

She's right it does have "a picnic in the hay loft kinda feel to it and I will have to agree."

Its going to look great!

This is going to be a beaut! Great colours and design....great collaboration.
