Of course I have another quilting project going but if I didn't start a new one I wouldn't be obsessed, right? I am rationalizing it by saying it is only a lap quilt and my other project is so nearly done. ninja
So I am starting on a denim quilt journey. Here I will chronical my progress, because I like it when other people do that, yay step by step.

This is my design, I made it for myself, please don't use it.
The diagonal stripes will be the denim. The clouds and hearts will be appliqued on, from the pictures off old shirts that I can't wear but can't bear to part with, the hearts will have the shirts that are too colourful to be clouds 3nodding
Where I am right now is begging the pants off of anyone who will give them to me! whee I've asked all my friends for their worn out jeans, and will put to use some of my own. I may end up going to a thrift store too but I'm going to try to get away with paying little to nothing for my materials.
Has anyone else quilted denim? Any tips or warnings before I get started? I know it's heavy fabric and that I will need a denim needle and patience. LOL I am not handsewing this one either.
