Finally done!!

Wow, I made this quilt top 7 years ago; It was one of my first!! 

So this week I decided it was time to quilt it and on my old Bernina sewing machine.  I am new to machine quilting, so that took awhile, but now I feel very satisfied with it : )

Repurposed Quilt

My first blocks for the repurposed quilt.

I am using old jeans from our family, and a few other interesting items.

For this block I used two differant colors of jeans, an old Levei shirt that was my dad's, for the sky and a small amount of fabric from an old pair of

brown pants of mine for the boat.  The sail is a small piece of fabric from the 1960's that my mother

gave me a long time ago. 

For the water I used a portion of a hem from a pair of peddle pushers belonging to my Mom.  I thought it gave an interesting wave affect.

Well that is the first block; I am so excited to have started this project!!

 

More blocks, this one from hunting and military pants. 

 

 

The snow on this tree is made from the lining of a pocket,

 

 

Below I used a seam in these old brown pants of mine

to make a design in the basket. 

I'm sure I will put a flower in this basket :)
