Two projects
I still need to put the backing on my second denim quilt. I hope to get started on that this weekend. I even bought more safety pins. They wanted $22 for a package of pins in the quilt store. I laughed at them and bought a bunch at a discount store for $3. And I took the advice and washed the flannel backing again today. So, meanwhile, I have to run the sewing machine, right? So I decided on two projects. I know, one should be enough at a time. I want to make a scrappy log-cabin type or maybe some crazy squares. And then, I want to follow our "bible" and make a Shoo Fly quilt as in Gwen Marston's "Liberated Quiltmaking." I have no plan for either quilt, so I guess they will get as big as they need to be. I do have on hand a couple of lap-sized quilt batts.

Wow, that's a big difference in the price of pins! I like that shoo fly block.
I really like your shoo fly. I was looking at that in Gwen's book the other night. I like the way you used different fabrics.
Nice blocks! It looks like you're having fun.
Great blocks! Why did you wash the flannel second time, I am curious?
Happy sewing!

I think you were smart to wash that flannel again. Better safe than sorry!
I have so much fun with the liberated stars that I'm surprised I haven't tried Gwen's method for Shoo Fly blocks yet. I like yours :- )
I like the off centre log cabin, and like the homely fabrics too.
They are both interesting blocks to make. I like the look of the scrappy log-cabin. I finished one recently it calls handkerchief corners, it is just like log-cabin from the corner. You can have a look at it http://notjustnat.blogspot.com/2009/09/hankie-corner-quilt.html if you want. Hugs Natima
I am sending you this link to a denim quilt I saw this summer at a quilt show. I took the picture to show you. It is a good use of jeans pockets.
