I first played with this block last Summer when I was inspired by the pillows on the cover of Martha Stewart Living. Shannon from Pieceful Quilter named it "Garden Fence" and the name stuck. Well, my top's finally done and I'm happy with the color combination of golds, yellows, grays and white. (how do you spell gray - grey or gray?) This cold weather and snow is continuing to ruin my photography, so here's the best I can do. (And it requires moving furniture). It's a super easy quilt to make and I think it would be awesome in lots of color combinations (Gray and pink, gray and aqua...) Here are the cutting dimensions for one block that finishes at 10" (10 1/2" unfinished): Center square: 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" Outer rectangles: 4 - 2 1/2" x 3" and 4 - 2 1/2" x 5" White: 2 - 1 1/2" x 4 1/2"; 2 - 1 1/2" x 6 1/2"; and 4 - 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" To piece the block: Sew the white 4 1/2" and 6 1/2" rectangles to opposite sides of the center square. Sew the white 2 1/2" rectangles between 2 outer rectangles; add these to the center pieced square. I simply added 1" finished (1 1/2" unfinished) white strips for sashing. Easy! Easy!

Hand Quilted Machine Quilted on Border
This has been a process that took more than a year and I have no excuses. But it's done and now in Mr Iquiltforfun's car to be used for whatever he would like. This quilt is made from jeans from our family and I wrote about it in more detail here. I do like it. It almost glows and that's amazing to me -- these are jeans that have had lots of use! And I mean a lot. My son. My husband. My sister. My nieces. There are ink spots and a bit of paint from a previous home and stains that will never be identified. And I left them in -- they are part of our history. Edited on 2.20.16 --To reiterate - this is not my pattern and I do not share it. If you'd like to get a copy, you can go to Alicia's Esty shop Lucys Quilts and order it. She is selling it for $10 and part of that goes to charity. Worth every penny. The pattern is brilliant. At no point do you sew denim-to-denim. The sashing takes care of that. I will make more (I've actually had a request or two from some family members) and I have lots of jeans so there is no shortage of fabric. I have to say that when I loaded it on Lola I had a little bit of heartburn. Denim. Cotton batting. Black fleece on the back. And lovely Superior So Fine #50 for the top and bobbin. The completely unexpected challenge was that I could not see the quilting. Seriously. I could not tell where I had been on about 60% of the blocks. I would have to stop the machine and feel where I was and then go on memory. Not particularly professional but with a simple stipple, I got it all quilted and fairly evenly. So, one more finish - and one more off my list! I hope you are being productive and enjoying the process! I'm linking this quilt to Amy's Creative Side and her Blogger's Quilt Festival in the scrappy portion. If old jeans aren't scrappy, nothing is! If you want to get lost in eye candy, this is the place to go. And, to reiterate -- this is not my pattern. I do not share it. You can link to Alicia's Etsy shop in the third paragraph and order it. Be sure to stop by the Blogger's Quilt Festival and see all the wonderful creations Jan

The Rescue Quilt series is about finishing up quilt tops that were never completed and then remaking the pattern. Sometimes I find easier / modern ways to make the quilt pattern, and sometimes I change up the pattern a bit to freshen things up. Other times I just finish the rescue quilt and end the...
I am lagging way behind on my finishing this year. Last night I finally quilted this cool color colorwash wallhanging. Now I need to trim it and choose a binding fabric. Since this one has regular quilting cottons, batiks, African, and Kaffe Fassett fabrics I don't really have to put a batik binding on it. It is so much easier to hand stitch regular quilting cottons than batiks.
