I swore I would never do this, but like so many things before, here I am! I have found that I am having a hard time keeping track of projects that I would like to start...or finish... and I figured that this would be a good way to start. Maybe this will give me some accountability, like a diet food log but for crafting. 

So I am working on this recycled jean quilt and am finding that it is moving along rather quickly, but I have had a few small problems, well really just one. I am finding that by following the directions, there are small holes between each of my squares. This is annoying, however as I was zig zag stitching the fabric squares into the jean circles, I found that I can just stitch where the four corners meet and patches the hole and creates a center for the "flower". It is working for now, but I hope that I will only do this for visual effect rather than function in the near future. 

P.S. Before you start a project with your old jeans, reconsider. Ask your friends for their old jeans. Once you realize that you were once able to fit into those old jeans that have been in the basement for 5 years, recycling doesn't seem so fun!!!
