I have a lot of denim jeans saved for projects. I've already made the kids each a quilt. Boy are they heavy - but very durable/tough!
I've bookmarked this page for inspiration! Thanks for all the ideas! Everybodys projects are wonderful. |

I found a denim Q size bedskirt at a thrift shop. I cut it and did a QAYG for four out of five strips on the back with Warm & Natural batting. I also did a QAYG for the front in a Warm Wishes pattern. Everyone loves that quilt!

I have made several rag quilts from denim and flannel. They wear great for kids and are very warm.

Thanks for sharing all your denim ideas! I've only used the lightweight denim so far and used batting in the center. Might have to make one out of regular heavyweight jeans someday!

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] Does this quilt have a backing to it? It is beautiful. |
