Hi all, this is what I have got so far. No idea what I am going to do with it next, I have just had my whole (small) stash spread out in front of me waiting for inspiration....nothing yet! It's about 30 inches square at the moment.

The denim squares are from an old, much loved pair of my jeans that finally wore holes in them. I love the one square that I fussy cut to get the stitching from the back pocket!

Mary-You are doing a great job. I love the fussy cut denim too--adds so much character, and a wonderful memory for you.

The inspiration will come--just let it simmer until it does. Cannot wait to see what you do next!!

IMHO and JUST an opinion. I'd do the next row pretty simple. Your eye needs someplace to rest.

I'm liking it.

So far, it's just beautiful! How big do you want it to be?

OOOhhh Mary you are doing your very own Round Robin I really like it, how much fun is that to include your fav jeans.....it's really taking shape :D

I think a narrow yellow will break up the patterns .....then why not try a scrappy braid border...... :D :D :D

:roll: :lol: :D

I guess about twin size Joyce. I want something to snuggle under when I'm watching tv on the sofa.
