I love the way you put in the pockets. My son-in-love wants me to make him a jeans quilt. I think I will use your idea about the pockets.

Did you have trouble getting large enought pieces with straight grain, or did you sew with bias edges. Just curious as I have saved many jeans for a project.

I love the block with change pocket!!

Good job. I recently made one for a dog we babysit sometimes. Just used old jeans from sons & grandsons. It went together fast

I made a denim quilt a good number of years ago. After many washings the seams all started to frey and pull apart. If I make another I will be serging the edges of all peices before assembling. It was the most favorite quilt in the house and everyone was bummed when it wore out. I have the top still but I don't know if I can save it. Good luck. It is looking great.
