What a fun Saturday I am having sewing ! I opened a drawer in a small dresser in my sewing room - it was so crammed, a bunch of stuff literally jumped out, including these very cute 4 patches (and another pile of them much bigger ) - I have no idea where these came from - someone must have given them to me - they have been in that drawer long enough !
Let's make them a square in a square.................. hmm, like that
and I have lots of denim - this is a denim "leg"... I got SEVEN boxes of denim legs FREE from Cone Mills in North Carolina when I lived there - many quilts have come from that... but there's a little (!) bit left.........................
hmmm, alternating denim squares... I like that arrangement - a nice stury quilt, but not so heavy as an all-denim quilt. a great picnic quilt or quilt for a man or a teen. And the side seam makes a nice design detail.
I like it - it will be very homey and snuggly... and let's see how I am doing at using up that denim....
rut roh - three large bins of denim, one small bin of denim... good thing denim lasts a long, long time!
Hope everyone else is enjoying the weekend.

I acquired denim legs and made place mats out of them with a little patch pocket for the napkins which I med in checked squares. Very cute and easy gifts to give at the time. I wasn't quilting then, just mucking about.
I do love the pants with the seams and how you cut them. They look just great with the blocks you've made.
