My second quilt!!!

Now about my second quilt that I am still working on as we speak:
I've been studying books and toying with ideas until I stumbled upon this Martha Stewart Quilt in October 2005. Since then I have been collecting our old Jeans. After years needless to say, I got tired of this pile and I thought it was time to cut them up. That took a few months.
Now that they were all cut up I tried to lay them out. It's really hard to work around the kids, since they are with me pretty much all the time. This is my workspace.... you get the idea!


Well, the second time I got to lay them out I actually had time to play with it (yesterday) and I started to sew the strips together. I will finish the top this morning!! Yay. Of course I want to make two, one for Noah, one for Sophie.


I also saw this beautiful Gee's Bend Quilt with Jeans. So beautiful. I never got to go to the High Museum, when they had the exhibition, but I ordered a couple of books from the library.
Here is my work in progress right now. I'm planning on backing it with cuddly flannel in blue.


wow. so, i was writing this last November or so and abandoned the blog.
The quilt is now finished and it was awesome and such a labor of love.
It is warm and cuddly and I'm proud I did it for Noah. May he be enveloped
in love forever! Now I just have to find a picture of it finished....
well, i don't have one, but I found a couple of more process pictures, you can see the
backing and how i started the stiching:
