The Quilt, Part 7
It's PIECED TOGETHER! Check that hot quilt action!
Best part, sitting in a rocking chair with the quilt over my lap and thinking about the old days, back when people had scruples and you could only get berries in the summertime. Those were the days!Next step, acquire a big old sheet of denim and some batting, then I do the QUILTING! WOOT! Still got to figure out how to do the quilting, but I've got a few ideas.
I'm pretty excited that I actually saw the project through like this!

Oh my gosh! What a great quilt! I had no idea you were a quilter -- welcome to the club. It is pretty addictive.
Impressive work, sir.
Thank you and thank you!
I wasn't much of a quilter, but last Christmas Megan and I made one together (figuring many hands make quick work) and now that I did this one on my own I'm actually thinking about starting another.
Although it's a little weird because my mother-in-laws quilting friends are somehow able to make me VERY uncomfortable by saying "I love watching a man quilt."
MY EYES ARE UP HERE LADIES!
hooray! you fly your freak flag! By which I mean quilt your freak quilt! Or something. It looks really cool, Aaron, congrats!
Also, the word verification this says "mgmqcn", which my head translated into "McMegan"
It's like a my wife served on a bun with special sauce...
*ahem*
Thank you! I'm quilting it right now... well, not RIGHT now, but just a bit ago I was. Right now you're on the phone with Megan...
That first bit of your last comment came off a little kinky to me. But maybe that's just me.
Your quilt looks AWESOME. About a million times more cool and "hip" than most of the other quilts I've seen.
One thought though: I don't know if people who quilt always wash the pieces before they quilt them together, but it just occurred to me that if you're using NEW denim you might want to wash it a few times before you attach it to your lovely quilt-o-awesome. Because sometimes denim bleeds the first few times.
Okay, now that REALLY sounded dirty. But I would be blue if your quilt got blued.
AARON! I am making a t-shirt quilt too... this is why we're cousins. However, you are much farther than I am on mine... hmmm...
