denim rag quilt

I have bins full of old jeans-decided it is time to cut them up.I cut 8 inch squares and used some flannel that was forgotten on a shelf.I love it.Lesson learned do not do 1st washing at home ever ever again with ragged denim.I have cut enough squares for 2 more lap sized quilts and emptied a large bin,woo hoo.

Very nice! I have made so many and it gets to my hands, but everyone loves them. I have about 10 jeans let and it will probably be the last denim quilt I make.

I am collecting jeans too. Love your flannel squares and fringe on one side and the denim on the back. I have heard these are so heavy that your way would make it manageable. Thanks for sharing.

It looks so cuddly.

So you didn't add batting, just backed your flannel with denim, right? I have tons of jeans... my collection and other people's donations
