I like it, I think the denim really sets it off. If you need an address when you finish, I'll gladly send mine. :lol:

I really like it also. I have a whole tub of denim (used) and like your idea a lot. Keep going. A man would love not flowers, or lady stuff.

He's a scrappy kind of guy so I thought this scrappy quilt would suit him. It's to be a large lap throw (twin size-ish) as he's a tall guy.

So I'm finally making the strips today using a dark denim to pull it all together...and it's just not working for me. It seems way too busy and loud to me. Is it as bad as it seems? I just don't know what to do. I can't imagine tearing it all apart but I don't know if it's going to get any better as I sew in the rest of the denim strips.

Any ideas?
