Girl Camp Quilts

My car girls are ALL girl girls.  They love all the fluff and stuff little girls love!  But, they also love to go camping and don't mind getting their faces, hands, clothes, shoes dirty or muddy.  This year they are learning to put a worm on their own hook!  Wow.  So, I decided to make them some bunk covers for their camper bunks... regular twin sized spreads are just too wide!  And what better to make camp type quilts and such than denim?  So here is what I did...

I rounded up my denim stash plus some heavy fabrics like cordoroy, velvets, and such to add color to the denim.  This is for girls so wanted the project to look girly.  Ripped the denims into strips, what ever I could get from the pair at hand and cut strips from the fabrics.  I am just putting this stuff together in a crazy quilt sort of fashion.  No rhyme or reason, just grab a strip and add it on!

Rounded up girly type stuff like

TRIMS

And Embellishments

And colorful stuff

And Rick Rac... I had lots of fun stuff in my stashes!  I just also added these things at random here and there on the top as it progressed.

I even found the free motion cat I made when doing the Drawing Lab Cats in Bed Lab so I made a block from it.  Littlest car girl really like it!  The orange in the lower left is heavy denim like fabric so it fit right in.

Some black denim I did their names with a discharge bleach process.   Then free motion sewing over that.  Evidently black is hard to discharge.  The denim piece you see on the top right corner was a pair I picked up at the YSM with embellishment up both legs!  The piece of denim with the triangles is a denim blouse front,

Add the rick rac and trims along most of the seams. With pieces of stuff sewn on here and there.

And this is a close up of a feather and silk flower the littlest car girl so wanted on her quilt so I sewed it on by her name.  It is very tactile!

I still need to add some embellishing hand stitches/enbroidery around the bare spots.

This is the first of three I will make.  It is for the littlest car girl who is so thrilled with it.  She asks me everyday if I am finished yet.  And, I think she is thrilled that at last, she gets something before the bigger car girls get it, lol.

And for my benefit... the next one will be easier now I have worked out some of the kinks!
