queen size
27 1/2 pairs of mans denim pants
324 round blocks ( all cut by hand , I must of cut for 3 or 4 days )
324 color cotton blocks
72 outside boarder pieces ( all cut by hand )
26 minutes to sew one strip of flower peddles down when I joined my strips together
12 1/2 hours of actual sewing time. ( my sewing machine keep track of actual time when it sews )

im estimating about 10,000 yrs of thread

LOVE IT! I have two large boxes of denim just waiting for me to do something with. It is on my bucket list. Maybe next year. The grandkids want to build a tree house and I plan on making some kind of utility quilt for them to use in the "cabin". I have the instructions for the quilt but don't remember if it said anything about the outer edges. How did you do them?
