So post some pics of yours or you favorite designs so I can get an idea as to what I am shooting for.

Watever pattern you choose, remember denim is very heavy and denim quilts are very, very heavy. So, don't make it too big, and give it to someone strong. My friendship group made a couple of these for charity quilts and we just sewed squares together, some with pockets with hankerchiefes poking out. We did not use batting but we did use fleece for the backing and they were a big hit.

I made this one using the link to a tutorial on this site. I always take gifts for my grandson when I see them, I will be flying on Friday to visit my son and his family.

The backs of these quilts are made with my sons' jeans and the fronts from their dress shirts. They were made for their fiancees'.
