denim quilt?
#1
A friend of mine's mother gave me a long gathered denim skirt she doesn't wear anymore a few months ago so I could use the fabric in a quilt or something. I just can't think of a good pattern to use for this skirt. I will obviously have to go out and buy some other shades of denim for this, but I work in a fabric store so it's no biggie.
Could any of you suggest a good pattern or block to use?
Here's a pic, it's denim and velvet, sorry I forgot to say that before

I'm saving jeans--have a LOT as kids outgrew them--and my plan is to make a ragged denim with flannel on the back--no batting.
But you're looking for a pattern? I think it'd look awesome with an accent color--blue or red? I'm not sure how denim works with lighter weight fabrics.

I made a cute jean top. but it became so very heavy. I cut to the minimum seam allowance. All jeans were worn, no bleeding of color could happen. I gathered cute tops and bottoms from kids clothing that had embellishments. But my.. it was just too heavy.
Good luck !
