Need advice on making a quilt with jeans
#2
Something easy, heavier fabrics need larger pieces. Quilters cache might be a good place to look.

Make sure you use the correct needle. Those suckers are thick! I made a blue jean and red bandana fabric picnic quilt. I used the pockets on the corners for the fork/napkin holder! It came out cute. I use half square triangles that were 12 inch blocks because the blue jean fabric is sooooo thick. You really don't want to sew on it a lot. Have fun.

If you can off set the corners so that you don't have 4 pieces of jeans fabric coming together at once it will work out better. Jeans quilts should be very simple like 5 or 6" squares then start the next row with 1/2 a square to do the offsetting. Or do sizable rectangles. Jean quilts also look great if they're tied. Make sure you use at least a size 90/14 or 100/16 needle and good long fiber thread.
