I made a demin quilt for my grandson for Christmas. I backed it with fannel but didn't put any batting in it. It was quite heavy but he loves it and I put pockets on it where he puts his small cars. Demin quilts are fun.

I am getting ready to make one for my 23 year old grandson, he is 6'5" so it will have to be big. Will back with flannel squares, and make it a rag quilt. Have been saving denim for a while and think I have enough now. Can't wait to get started

I just got really lucky a few days ago.. Bought a huge bag of already cut into 6" blocks both denim and plaid flannel for only $5.50... Plan on using it for a quilt for son.
Think I'd like the patches set "on point"... Have any of you tried that yet? |

Here are some of the thing that I have made from old denim jeans. I still have a pile of jeans to make more items.

mostly recycled jeans-with a bit of camo and corduroy

I made a denim & corduroy & twill 9 patch (some were even the print denim!!!) back about 1990 with batting & a print quilting cotton back, then tied. My 14 year old son loves it on his bed ( & has used it since he was about 3) & when some of the seams start to come apart (from LOTS of washing) I just zig-zag it back together & he's happy again! If I think of it when I get home I'll post a picture of it!

When my Dad died I made rag quilts out of his jeans for my sisters, brother & myself. I used flannel & homespun too. This is mine
That is another one in my avatar that my cat is testing out! [ATTACH=CONFIG]202705[/ATTACH] |
i've started to cut out circles in denim for one of those cathedral windows, but i'm not sure when i will have time to work on it further. i used shirts purchased at a bag sale at a local church & clothes from local thrifts as well...

Thanks for sharing pictures. Love what you ladies have done with jeans. I'm saving them, but don't have enough yet for quilts.
