Possible to Recycle Jeans for Rag Quilt?
#11
I still have a denim quilt I made for my kids when they were tiny, and my oldest is 30. The quilt was made from old jeans and it still looks as good today as it did when I first made it. I cut about 6" squares and backed it with a red cotton print. No batting. I didn't even use binding; I just put the top and back together (right sides together), stitched around it, and turned it. I topstitched diagonally through the blocks with red thread to hold it all together. It was super easy to make and it's lasted through three kids dragging it around inside and outside.

I made a denim rag quilt and all of the denim came from the thrift store in the shape of jeans, skirts and shirts. The skinny legged jeans don't supply very large squares.
the back is flannel from various projects-mostly kids sleep pj's that I have made. The embrodiered squares were for each child in the class. The quilt was auctioned off as a benefit for the school.
