We all have those areas that appeal to us and those we avoid, no matter how many years of quilting we have under our belts. LOL! In MY mind, it's the difference in fabric weight that might worry me with combining knits and denim, but I don't have experience to back up saying it wouldn't work. Maybe other readers will chime in and be more helpful!Jean MaDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305044357988264502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645833721106682582.post-63842496618243418612018-12-31T13:18:55.737-08:002018-12-31T13:18:55.737-08:00Hello!

Do you think the jeans could be the dark shadow under/next to the t-shirt blocks? I'm an experienced quilted, but haven't ever made a t-shirt quilt. You pattern/guide looks very helpful and I thank you in advance for any advise. <br /><br />Blessings,<br />Donna McDonna Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840605334395658755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645833721106682582.post-46226358169817984222018-02-04T15:11:54.120-08:002018-02-04T15:11:54.120-08:00It would depend on the size of your charms!!It would depend on the size of your charms!!Jean MaDanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09305044357988264502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2645833721106682582.post-75867375536833938992018-02-04T14:51:23.774-08:002018-02-04T14:51:23.774-08:00I want to use charm packs.

He is a big hockey fan so each block will be hockey related 10" squares. Thanks for the great tutorial! I must enlarge this pattern since he wants it for his bed but that should be easy. Off to cut all those little squares first. He wants black with gray for background, this should be fun.
