Search jean quilts here and on the internet under images you will get lots of ideas. I even see pockets on some. My boys still use the ones my MIL made them probly 15 years ago. They get better with age!
I have loads of scraps from two quilts I just made. I woul love to know how to make the rag rugs. I would hate to throw out the scraps, but theya re annoying me.
As for what parts of the jeans to use? ALL. The pockets, and zippers etc add eye appeal.
