While cleaning out the attic, I came across a box of old acid washed & bleach decorated jeans that at one time I was able to fit into. I don't even remember putting them there. So my question is would they look okay in a Jean quilt? Would the acid washed fabric date it too much? DD's said to just throw them all out, that the acid washed jeans look tacky. DH suggested I go with a 80's theam and use 80's looking fabric with it. But I can't really remember what 80's fabric looked like. Any suggestions?

you can use them.. it is allll up to you. Denium is denium.... use the parts without the acid wash... use all of it.. there are NO POLICE!

they are also great when making a rag quilt; they are great at freying.

Acid wash jeans works great as your 'light' in the quilt.

Notice the acid wash in my raggy jean jacket. I made the jacket, just over a year ago.

Tell your daughter to go listen to her Y2K rap music while you proudly stitch your acid wash high waist tapered leg jeans into a cool quilt! I LOVE THE 80's!!! How about your 80's t-shirts on one side, jeans on the other?

I love the jacket. Did you use a pattern?

The jeans would look fine in a quilt. I made one with red bandana fabric once.
