When I did denim rag quilts, I used strips of rectangles, and made sure the seam from the next strip would be in the middle of the rectangle beside it. Does that make sense? Then you don't have to match seams.

I made for my Grandson , a queen size. That thing was so heavy. I used my serger to sew it, that way it didn't move away from me. I well never make another. I haven't made any other one and I need to,tho that thing well never wear out.

Avoid joining corners with denim. Choose a pattern that 'staggers'.

I have promised to make a denim rag quilt for the little gal who does my hair. Thought I would use a blue and yellow floral with the denim. She has overloaded me with old jeans. Hope it is not too hard.

It is hard to work with, but the end result (good sized 45 X 65) for qulits to be sent for ambulance duty overseas, was well worth the
pricked fingers and the almost losing my temper witht he fraying, I may just do another one. If I ever learn how to send pictures, I might send one. |
