Here's the flannel and denim I plan on using in my rag quilt I might have mentioned before. I am making one for my son too, but this is mine, with the leopard print flannel and denim in a pretty pattern.



Here's the digital preview I made of it in ms paint:



And these are the skull caps I made using some of the puzzle flannel I bought for my son's rag quilt:



I am feeling really rough though, been having a tough time emotionally. Not wanting to get into it though, just enough to say I am coping, but it's not easy. I hope things get better soon. I know a lot of my issues are hormonally related. *sigh* but knowing that doesn't help much. Anyway, I hope everyone is doing well. Thinking of you all! ♥

Wow, its beautiful.

It will be won't it? I love it in the preview I made, but I have to get 5 more yards of flannel to cut up into 6" squares and use in between the two layers of the leopard and denim and then I'll be set to sew! I have a pair of jeans that have pockets like stars, that is what will be in the center, a star pocket, and then around that if you can kinda see the top denim squares have embroidered flowers on them, and vines. Those will be the pink squares.



Here's all the hats I have made but the one I gave my mother:

I am impressed! Wonderfully creative too.

I have a dear friend who makes quilts and shows me the photos from the quilt shows she attends... It is a wonderful skill IMO.

I am envious, as my hands cannot tolerate sewing needles...I have carpal tunnel. It is mostly in remission, but I only get 10 or 15 minutes if I attempt any handwork.

Dr. Smith, here also does quilts with his wife. He posts on the Creative forum here now and then.

Thanks for posting. I love seeing what you are making!

Thanks mrsd! I really am grateful my hands tolerate it, it's hard on them though. I will be cutting the final layer needed to make my quilt, this Saturday, I can't wait! I'll be sure to share photos of the project in progress too. I didn't realize we had a creative forum here....*strokes chin thoughtfully* ♥

wow pam!
that is amazing that you cut out all of those pieces what a lot of work! the quilt will be beautiful!

Yep! I used a rotary cutting tool with a long ruler and self healing cutting mat. I think it took me 3 days, (about 5 sessions over an hour each) to get them done. This one shows the royal blue and puzzle fabric I will be using to make my son's special rag quilt. One layer of it (the center layer that won't be seen except for the ragged edge) will be half of that pile of denim....Here you can also see the star pocketed jeans I'll be using, I am going to cut the pockets out and use one on my quilt in the center and one on my son's quilt, I think. Not sure, have to see how it looks after I have laid it all out. Thanks for the kind words about it bizi! I can't wait to get sewing!!!

Pam,

This is a fabulous project.

I like the denim star for the center.

Thanks Mari! I can't wait to share pics of the finished project, should take awhile though, this isn't one I'll have finished in a week even I don't think. But it will be fun. And has been fun so far.

Pam,
It would be nice if you gave us pictures all along the way ---- so we can see the project as it comes together.
