Hi: My name is Stella. This is the second time I have been on the forum and I am currently making a jean quilt. I am a novice but I enjoy challenges. Cut the legs off of old jeans up to the stride and then spit them at the side seams. Make blocks out of this part as large as you want them but in equal sizes...say about eight inch blocks. Or whatever inches you can get from it. Use pretty prints to make four inch strips to be sewn around each block. This is recycling old jeans. But you can buy jean material if you want uniform color in your quilt. and buy 1 or 2 yards of pretty print or solid colored material to embrace each jean block. You also can use triangles as blocks and alternate between jeans and print or sold material. Well, this is just a suggeestion. I hope you success in making a jean quilt.
