Fiddlesticks Friday.

Wednesday's post was about the denim quilt on the worktable. After sorting the cut-up jeans by color and setting them on the table to cut, I realized the plan called for 12 inch squares. However, the largest square possible with the available material is 8 inches. It looks like the majority of the squares will be six inches. To do the planned design will take many, many squares.

The final size will be roughly 48 x 60. Four feet by five feet.

So... it's back to the drawing board for the denim quilt.

Spent some time ironing and cutting out squares. Nothing dulls a rotary cutter quite like denim. *sigh* (ack - listen to me whine. fiddlesticks!)

Found some heavy blue cotton that could be used for some of the larger squares on the original design. Thinking about using it; let's call it Plan B. First I'll try to work out a visually pleasing pattern using only denim.

Pictured above is a very rough drawing of a Seattle Streets quilt pattern using batiks, water colors and hand-dyed muslin. All but the hand-dyed muslin is shown here.

Perhaps enough fabric for two stained glass quilts.

Perhaps. What a powerful word.

Another powerful word is perchance. I mention it because it's "bedtime for bunnies" and this old Grandma.
