Working with denim
#3
You can do a sort of faux cathedral windows with them. Cut circles out of the denim and then use a square that just comes to the edge of the circle to mark them. Sew them together with the flaps all on one side. Put a square of fabric on top of the circle as you sew the flaps down over it.
Found a pattern page for you.

Here is the site with the instructions for a quilt I have started with cut out jeans. It's fast, easy and fun!

Yes. you just sew squares or whatever together. Leave an inch seam on the front side and snip them. I even have doubled the squares and used thin batt for weight and we use them at football games and holiday parades! There's so many ways to switch things up too.

I love denim rag quilts, if you want to piece a more "traditional" pattern make sure to use a bigger seam allowance! Someone gave my SIL a pretty denim rag quilt, but it frayed out in a couple of washings.
