    Default Denim Quilts

    I got to thinking of all the denim quilts I've made over the years and I only have one of my own. I carry it in the van for this and that. Made it from my daughters jeans and backed it with a floral twill (heavier cotton) that I found at a garage sale. NO batting. It is plenty heavy as it is.

    Join me in posting your denim quilts. I'd love to see them.

    Edit: My SIL quilt this with a varigated thread, so pretty.

    Never made one but it's somewhere on the bucket list.

    Love your quilt! I've been working on making a quilt out of DH's jeans. Using his shirts to make couple pillow cases.

    Here's one of mine that I really enjoyed making. The photo doesn't show the final black edging. The colors included maroon, sage and tan jeans along with the regular blue jeans. It's very heavy with a fleece backing, but very warm![ATTACH=CONFIG]476627[/ATTACH]
