This is the latest project. As you can see I have done my homework for next session on May 6th.
The title is self explanatory and I had fun with logcabin patchwork.
I have Denby Imperial Blue pottery and a set of white china I will use with them.

That was quick, Gentian! I love denim, especially old jeans, and your idea has worked a treat. The dark and light in the log cabin design really works well, and will look good on the table, plus they will last for ages and through constant washes too.

They'll need to Jazz, my Oh is a messy eater sometimes.
Thanks for the comment.

Firelight amd shadow Gen. They are lovely, you obviously are a good machine quilter, I am a real old fashioned hand sewer unfortunately. They go well with the Denby, all very smart.

Very nice, gentian - really tasteful and would look good in any setting. I rather covet them for my white denby too! Get that machine going and you are in business!

Those are great Gentian.

I have lots of ideas for recycling jeans but never seem to get around to it.
