Projects: Denim Quilts for Graduates

Happy Fourth of July, All!

I've just finished up these quilts for a couple of high school graduates.
Denim with stars suggested a patriotic theme...



I considered two other settings for this simple square pattern: 



There were lots of options for the placement of the red and white squares. And framing them added some interest.

But, "simple" doesn't mean boring...


The denim in this quilt is embroidered in lines of a paisley pattern which give it a direction. So, I alternated the pattern's orientation between rows of horizontal paisleys and rows of vertical paisleys. This gives the subtle effect of a grid that intersects at the large blue squares.
