My DD1
started about 5 years ago to cut some of her old jeans into log-cabin stripes.
She had to use scissors in lack of other equipments and got a lot of fabric.
She wanted a picnics blanket and started her log-cabin blocks, but discovered
that she should have made her stripes wider. She lost interest and I got the
box and it has stayed on my shelf for a couple of years. After reading Hanne`s blog about charity blankets and with
the link to this video on YouTube I tried this on these stripes. After km of
thread I finished this picnic quilt with her stripes, log cabin blocks and
squares. I supplied with some old curtains and other old fabric pieces so this
is a true scrap quilt.
My daughter
is looking forward to picnics this summer.Sorry the pictures aren't top quality, but they give you an idea of the quilt.
