I made 2 jeans quilts. I found size 56 & 60 mens new at a goodwill several years ago. I bought 20 pairs and striped the legs into 2 1/2 strips for a log cabin. I rolled the strips and they filled with extra a large postal mailing box. I only used half. Quilt was very heavy. The second one I used yardage.. you will find out why later.... good luck and don't forget to use a size 14 or 16 jeans needle for the constuctiomn.
