    No longer there I was told.
    When I clicked the link it said information no longer available and offered 6 free quilt patterns which are old traditional patterns around everywhere. Bummer.

    But the straw.com site has good instructions and pics.
    Thanks for all the compliments!
    If and when I do one I think I will either eliminate the middle layer or use flannel so it is not so heavy. Thanks for the tip regarding the glue, I use a glue tecnique in many of my quilts. Did you use denim on the back also?

    Happy Quilting

    That's funny, because in your other topic I wanted to ask if you had a close up to share. Very cool!

    Very nice quilt. I have had this one on my to-do list for quite some time. I have almost enough jeans saved up.
