My Camping Quilt in a Week Challenge!

Last night I posted about how I got this lovely brainstorm to make a Jean Quilt in a WEEK for camping next weekend - well last night was quite productive and I got all the squares cut, pieced into rows, and cut again to make this lovely piece of quilting goodness:

I'd say thats not too bad because three hours before that picture was taken those squares looked like this:

Hopefully I can get the top mostly pieced together today (the squares are currently sewn together in three patch sections) and I can run to the fabric store and get some boarder fabric, backing and possibly some batting depending on how big the quilt winds up being.

Hi ho, hi ho, its off to the sewing machine I go!!  

Happy Friday everyone!  

Camping Quilt

We are heading out camping next weekend since we don't want to battle the long weekend crowds plus Mr. Quiltapotamus works this Monday (in Canada our May long weekend is this coming weekend not next weekend like you have in the States). I made a passing comment to my husband the other day that i'd love to have a jean quilt to cuddle up in by the fire and now that's all I can think about!!!

So I do a little googling to find out approximately how many jeans I would need and now I'm going to do what I do best WING IT!!! ;)

I'm going to attempt to sew my little bum off for the next week and see if i can actually pull this quilt off for us to take it with us camping.

Wish me luck and I'll try to update my progress with the jean quilt each day to help keep me accountable!!!!
