Cathedral window blue jeans quilt...
 

I found a great idea to use up old blue jeans, leftover batting, and fabric scraps! :cool: It may take me a year but I have started cutting all of my leftover batting into 4.5" squares and cutting circles from all of our old blue jeans. Has anyone made anything like this?

I think a few people here have posted either tutorials or at least how to's on theirs. It's on my list of to-do's.

This is far more simple than a cathederal window. If you will look closely, each block is a circle of denim and lighter cotton print. Mark a square in the circle, sew straight lines together, the fold the edges in and sew them down.

would be a fun way to use jeans.

I just completed mine today. I will try to post pic tomorrow. It is really heavy. I made mine as a picnic/beach blanket.

A friend made one of these and it is very heavy. She didn't use any batting though, just cotton for the front and denim for the back.

yes I've made several denim quilts, though I didn't use batting they are extremely heavy and very warm. even for michigan

as sap said, very heavy, very warm, no batting needed if using denim.

I do really like this quilt.. I am saving my son's jeans for a quilt.. and I may go this way.

This is one I did I posted it here 11/18 /2013 as denum Patriotic quilt the olfa circle cuter was great to use.
