New picnic blanket

Remember my post when I said I'm not really known for my crafting ability?  Well that didn't actually mean that I can't craft....
I was on a picnic last year and saw a funky blanket made from cut up old jeans and thought I'd give it a go. A few pairs of old jeans that were destined for the op shop....


Chopped up and mixed with some cute apple fabric...




Bordered with a lovely bright green....


(A fuzzy kind of photo - wanting a new iPhone much.....?)
All completed and ready for picnic-ing on.




And that's just what we did yesterday.  Chicken, salad and hot chips down the beachfront on a beautiful sunny Spring day to make the most of the school holidays - LOVE.




For my first attempt at quilting I have to say that I am rather proud of myself!
