Yay! The graduation raggy denim/flannel is clipped, washed, fluffed and ready to go. :-) And I'm a good 2 weeks ahead of the party~ I especially like that! LOL :-) If you are wondering, the pattern is from a 2003 issue of Traditional Quiltworks magazine. It's by Evelyn Sloppy and is called 'Country Denim Stars'. I have been making this quilt for the guy graduates we know for a number of years now. :-)) I've even made it for a couple gals with hearts instead of stars. The original pattern has a lot more stars to it, I changed that when I started adding pocket and seam pieces of denim. I'll have a few more to make next year, so guess I'd better start collecting jeans again. ;-)

This is a view of the back or flannel side~
Oh! After I clip it, I wash it at home. I made an oversized bag with a zipper in it specifically for washing these to keep the fuzz out of the washer. A good shake outside and a tumble in the dryer and it's ready to go~ be sure to check your dryer lint trap often!~ like every 5 minutes at first because the lint does build up fast! No one wants a dryer fire! :-o
Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!!
