My favorite jeans quilt was made out of log cabin squares with centers of colored denim. It had 48 squares, maybe 8" each. the back was pieced denim as well.

Thanks Emmie-can't wait to get that pile of old jeans from the attic, I have been collecting from thrift stores, to someday make a jean quilt. This one has me excited. :-D

Love the deer and jean quilt.

My mom took my girls' old jeans to make a quilt. She used all parts of the jeans. The back pockets were included, and she put a little toy or book in each pocket. Mom also used the front section (with the zipper) She backed it with cotton fabric, and put a tie 'belt' in the loops. The zipper can be unzipped, and the pocket is used for a pajama pocket.

I'll see if I can get a pic and put it on here.

Great quilt sites. Thanks a mill.

This is my daughter's quilt - several years old, and still taken everywhere! (It came home from college for break!)

This is the first time I tried to post a picture. I hope it turns out right.

Sorry. It's sideways, but you can get the idea.

I love that deer/circle quilt! I'm wondering how the sections stay together - do they tend to pull apart at all when a quilt is put together that way? I hope not.... I have a huge stash of jeans I've been saving for years and I'd love to try this!

I would probably make a jeans quilt with flannel on one side so it isn't quite as heavy. It's one thing to lie under a jeans quilt when you're a youngster and quite another to lie under that weight when you're in your 90's! Some people do find the weight of a jeans quilt comforting, but I still think there would be some limits as to what would be comfortable for an older person with thinner skin and less padding between skin and bone.

There are some great websites that talk about making jeans quilts. Be sure to Google them for ideas, pictures, patterns, and tips.
