I have made 7 denim quilts (one for each of my grandchildren). I used their old denim jeans. There is no need to go out and buy denim material. If you don't have any old jeans, head for the salvation army or goodwill type stores. I made each block 10 1/2 inches (but that was personal preference. I started with 12" but that was too big of a block.) As suggested in one of the other posts, I did tie instead of quilt. Much, much easier! I also increased my seams to 1/2" instead of 1/4" (makes it more sturdy). I used flannel as the batting and cotton for the backing. Simple blocks are the easiest to work with. Too many seams in each block make it very difficult to sew and press. My blocks were mostly four patch or 10 1/2" by 4" strips. Make up your own pattern blocks. It's fun! Let me know if you need any more help or encouragement!
