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 :)
