I made a jean quilt but I used the jean part as the "backing" and used a panel for the "front". I cut the jeans in 6" strips and sewed them end to end. Then I just cut them off at the length that I needed them to be and sewed the strips together lengthwise. I used a very thin batting and tied the quilt.
My DDIL offered to help me tie the quilt and asked who it was for. I told her it was for the back of my couch, but actually it was a birthday gift for her and my DS. (They have the same birthday!)
She was very surprised when I gave it to them and couldn't believe that she had even helped tie it and didn't know it was for them! LOL
