Here are the three pair left to take apart. I like that I have so many different colors of blue to work with!
Here is the pile of fronts with the waistbands still attached. I will use these for my second block for my AHIQ piece. Once I get all the jeans apart, I hope to figure out how I am going to put this quilt together and what second block I am going to use. If that wasn't enough, I would like to get this done for Father's Day. Yes, I am crazy! That gives me 25 days - plenty of time! LOL!!!
The to do list is growing fast. I found out last night that a box of Harley t-shirts is on its way to me so I can make another quilt to donate to the same fundraiser last year's went to. Here is last year's quilt in case you forgot what it looked like
The fundraiser is on August 19 so I need to get this one done asap! I found a bolt of P44F Pellon for backing the t-shirts in the fabric storage room this morning. Last night I couldn't remember if I had some or not so I was very happy this morning to find that bolt at the top of the closet! I need to watch sales to build my stock back up. I think it was about a year and a half ago that JoAnn's had it on sale and I bought over 125 yards. A t-shirt quilt can use up to 25 yards of the interfacing so I will go thru it quick.
Here is this mornings goodies from the parking lots.

I like that you have a variety of shades of blue and that you have left pockets on. What next, I wonder?
Yes, what next indeed? Although, I have just been looking at a few denim and corduroy Gee's Bend quilts that are pretty amazing...
I'm excited to see what you do with these. Love the variety of denim colors. Very curious how the fronts will make another block. Twenty-five days is not long but you will meet the challenge. Thanks for linking with AHIQ.
Watching to see what you do -- I've sewn one quilt with denim parts and it ended up being quite heavy. Wonder how your's will do?
Good luck on a before Father's Day finish! I'm anxious to see what you will do.
I haven't made a blue jean quilt in ages. Used to be that is all I had to work with. A couple of them still go camping with us.
What do you do with your parking lot finds?
Oh and every time I see your header photo I think of my husband when he had cancer. He was in very bad shape and never wanted to discuss if he wanted a funeral or music he wanted played, etc. He said he wasn't going to die but if he did play some AC/DC. Shock! I didn't even know the old man liked AC/DC!!! Play it at a funeral??? (He didn't die so I didn't have to worry about it.)
