Picnic Quilts...

I have two friends flying in today to visit me.  Only true friends would come all the way to Oklahoma so I figured they needed quilts!  I have been collecting denim for quite a while now thinking I would may 7 or 8 for friends and family.  Denim is kind of a pain to work with because it is soooo heavy.  This might be my limit.

Meet Jack.
He reallllly likes my quilt.  Thinks we are going on a picnic.


I'm also trying to use up my stash so I pieced the back as well.    Why is it that no matter how much fabric I use it never seems like I have less fabric on my shelves?  And I haven't been buying fabric in oh...so.... loooong.

Pretty quilt!! Is Jack a husky? We have a husky/collie mix. She's awesome! :)

Hope your friends love their quilts! You didn't use wadding I hope - that will help with the weight... and easier to wash.

Yes... Jack is a siberian huskey. Poor thing living in OK!

and yes... I used batting because my friends live in Utah and have kids that play outdoor sports so it gets coooold and this will be perfect to wrap up in.

I love denim quilts but I've never made one - I have arthritis in my hands and all that weight I'm afraid would be too much for me. Love the look though. :) blessings, marlene
