Project... Help Needed!

I have been collecting our old jeans for years and have finally decided to make a jean quilt with the squares. But then I went online and found all the amazing jean quilts made in the Cathedral Windows pattern. So I spent all day cutting my 6" squares into circles. So I have 200 circles. But now it is not nearly enough to make a full size quilt with, I only have enough to make it about 4 1/2' x 4 1/2'. Dang. So I am asking anyone nearby or in driving distance if they have any holey old jeans that they are planning on throwing out to save them for me!! Anybody? Anybody?

Here is an example of the pattern I am making.. It looks hard but really fun. I won't have to tie it or do a batting or anything. And it's cute!

A Western Christmas


Not the best picture quality, but just a sampling of Ian's Christmas program this year. Interesting song choices and medleys! He did great. He is on the first row by the piano.

Thanks kid.
