Today seemed like the day to get it started. I just cut out squares and rectangles and then put them together like a puzzle. I even used the pockets, front and back. I love the way this looks. I'll use the demin for the back.
I'll have to hand sew it all together because my sewing machine has had the tension all messed up for a few years now and I don't know how to fix it. I've tried every which way to change the tension, but nothing has worked. It's just a cheap little Singer I bought on sale one year at K-Mart the day after Christmas. I would love to get a good machine but will have to wait. And I don't mind hand quilting. Makes me feel like Caroline Ingels.
This is a side view showing the pockets. It looks so cute already.
I just feel like I have to making something or I'm not being productive. And I can't get out in the garden right now. And it's too cold anyway.
Is anyone else making anything?

My aunt made a quilt out of old jeans/overalls years ago with red cordoroy on the other side. It was heavy but very warm.
What a neat idea, Kris. For our wedding, I made my husband a quilt using t-shirts from our college days. It was the first and last quilt I ever made.
I am hoping this one will be nice and heavy and keep my hubby warm out there on the road. He has to sleep in his truck and he's all over the country.
Do you still have the quilt you made?
Yes, it's slung over the chair in hubby's office. I'll have to snap a pitcure of it.
