That's a cool denim quilt. I am in the process of cutting up old jeans into 6.5" squares. I liked the idea of using the pockets but couldn't figure out how. Then I saw yours. How did you attach the pockets?
It looks like you left some fabric around the pocket and then stitched it down onto your block and allowed it to fray. Is that about right?
