I recently lost tons of weight and I loved wearing denim jumpers and skirts. Most of them were sets and had lots of embroidery on them. I had spent so much money on them, I hated to see them go SO, I cut them up...now I have enough material to make a quilt.

Now THAT is the perfect use for your now-too-big clothes!

Years ago I started one that only got as big as a throw that we used in the back of the van when the boys were much younger. Kept it there til one bright child used it to bring home a bunch of prickly pear cactus. That was the end of using it! Like to never got the stickers out of the rest of the stuff in the back of the van.

I've made several "recycled" denim quilts for our charity quilting group. They are indeed heavy, so we don't bat them. My photos aren't uploading right now, so can't share. Several were very cute cause we inserted flannel on random squares for variety. I also made one with fairly thin strips, instead of squares, done randomly and raggy. We always make sure that there are a few random pockets on them. They are a great "beach" quilt, if they seem too heavy for the bed.

A precaution to you all- with the raggy ones, they shed a lot and you need to be sure to empty the dryer lint catcher every time you dry one- it could become a dangerous fire hazard very quickly the way the lint accumulates.

I use the pieces...sewn haphazardly to make larger piece... to cover a 24" floor pillow for the guys that are going off to college. VERY sturdy, VERY useful they say.

I have used denim with flannel shirts for memory quilts and have a stash of jeans (yes, people to ask me if I need their old jeans) to do my own quilt someday. I especially like the variety when adding white, brown or light blue denim.

The quilts definitely are HEAVY!
