I made a denim quilt from old jeans but it isn't the rag style. Like a fool I sat and took every seam out so that all that was left were the front pockets and the waist band/zipper. From some of the jeans I even cut the pockets and used them. I learned that it is easier to just cut down each seam. Sorry that I couldn't help. Good luck.

http://blankie.made4usa.com/HelpfulH...pfulHints.html I learned quite a bit from this site. I just cut off all the seams and save pieces that aren't stained, ripped or too thin. I'm still trying to figure out how to incorporate some pockets into a quilt.
