Blue jean quilt?
#23
I have made a couple blue jean rag quilts for a quilt raffle for a dog rescue that I am a volunteer for. I named them after my two Minpins. One is called the "Jasper Ragster" and the "Baxter Ragster". Easy and fun to make to use up some of your jeans. I put flannel on the back for softness. I don't know about stretch jeans; I didn't use any.

I've made five blue jeans quilts, using 6.5" and 8" respectively, but I didn't make the fraying style; my seams are half inch and are all inside. I pressed open the seams and then top stitched the entire top with 1/4" top stitching. Turned out great. No need to tie it when you do this. I used back pockets and waistband pieces in the blocks here and there (just a few).

Blue Jean Circles
I have wanted to make a blue jean quilt myself and saw a tutorial on one with circles. I liked it and added to my favorites so when I had the time I could make it. Here is the link

Hope you like it too. And if you want to use stretchy jeans I would suggest putting a fusible interface on the back of it to stabilize the fabric, like you do on t-shirt quilts.
Hope this helps
