    Default Denim Quilt fininshed for gs

    I had found this pattern on a web site and posted it earlier so it is NOT my pattern. IT is from a lady named Doreen from Bismark,ND and she called it a Circle Blue Jean Quilt. In her pattern she cut all the cicles for a single size bed and used 2 denim circles where as i used one since I live in Texas. I did use a thin layer of batting between the fabric piece and circle of jean.( don't think I will use any batting on my gd quilt) I found it hard enough to sew thru two thickness much less 4. With the advise my mom gave me yrs ago, I found using a tac hammer on the seams and pounding them I hardly ever broke a needle!(be sure to use at leas an 18 needle or jean needle) I did take pic of my progress and of most of the steps but have just now figured out how to post pics. With this first attempt at finishing a quilt, it's inspired me to get out my hand applique umbrella lady squares I did 11 yrs ago! Thanks for looking
