I made a blue jean quilt from a trunk full of old jeans donated by my auntie. It took a while to "find" the inspiration, but I like it.

wow...those are all really great denim quilts! 
I see 1/2" seam allowances on a couple of them. Smart! I learned the hard way that a wider seam allowance is way better than the standard 1/4" size. Especially when doing rag quilts.
And using the pockets and rivets and zippers and belt loops and random buttons and even a bit of lace or paint or sashiko or embroidery, and / or ric rac is all fun too.
