    Excellant idea! How wide did you cut the strips?

    I should get busy and see if I can post a pic of the denim quilt that I finished in July before my hand injury. It took me almost a year of work and I won a blue ribbon at our county fair. My son absolutely fell in love with it so I told him that he coud have it now only if he accepted it as an early christmas gift. It was made sort of as a memory quilt for him anyway....I never told him...just let him figure out the fabrics after I gave it to him. He is even more in love with it after seeing the different fabrics in it. Will try to post some pics soon.
    Great job on your denim quilts. I really do love yours!!!

    Love it! I have never thought about doing a log cabin with denim. I have tons of old jeans that I've been cutting up and making rag quilts with them. They make great outdoor quilts to spread and use for picnics, sporting events, etc. I just use a cotton fabric on the other side, or even alternate the cotton and denim on both sides. They don't take long to sew together, just takes some time to cut for the ragging process. But love them! Really easy to do and I like easy! hehe :lol:

    The jean quilt turned out very nice. I like the pocket pillow, too. :D
