I made a denim quilt and rather than use the snip every quarter inch method I cut the squares on the bias. They were about 5 inch squares sandwiched with a 4 inch bat and 5 inch homespun also cut on the bias. I quilted them with an X on each square and then sewed them together with 1/2 seams. When washed the edges curl and give a nice effect. It saves a lot of clipping and wear and tear on your washer with all the loose threads. With the different shades of denim it is pretty. I also carefully cut the pockets off which created a nice effect with the fading and used the pockets for other projects.
