Another Jean Quilt

Well, I just can't get enough of them so I made another jean quilt.

A friend gave me all of her old jeans and I turned them into a quilt using Natalia Bonner's pattern/recommendation http://www.pieceandquilt.com/2010/01/simply-denim-quilt-tutorial.html

My friend is part of a female motorcycle club named the Chrome Divas, so that is what I appliqued on the quilt.

As always, I used a flannel back to keep it cuddly.

I did not use a batting on this one. It measures 78X80 and as it is made up of 10+ pairs of jeans, it is super heavy. A batting would make it feel like a ton of bricks!

I am happy with how the quilting turned out. Used a loop de loop in a variegated thread.

This is my second fully completed quilt  in 18 days! That is a personal record! Usually I'm pretty quick with getting the tops completed, and then they languish waiting to be quilted. Feeling very proud of myself!

Hope my friend likes it.
