TwistedQuilter - I love the khaki squares in your D9P. They really add variety and make it interesting.

I made a rag quilt out of jeans and alternated the blocks with flannel. A great way to use up old jeans and flannel shirts.
It ravels really great when washed. And heavy enough not to need any batting. Buy needles for jeans.

I did rag edge quilts - used squares of red, white and blue denim and backed it with flannel. The biggest problem with denim quilts is their weight. Forget about batting and use a lightweight backing to offset that problem.

Thanks!

I've made several jean quilts. My favorite is the one I made out of black, white and red jeans using the log cabin pattern. I quilted it on the LAM with a thin batting, cotton on the back. If you looked under "Look what I made this year" you will find the jeans quilts. I always keep 6 1/2" blue jean squares ready for a quilt.

OG, I love your quilts, especially the pink/brown and tie quilt. I acquired over 115 ties last month and think I'll give your tie quilt a shot. Any tips/suggestions?

I made a twin sizecrazy quilt jean quilt. I embroidered some of the larger pieces and did my stitching in red. Made a very nice quilt to wrap up in.

:thumbup: Note to Walen...I'm 60 yrs. young, and I have also fought the weight battle all of those yrs....when my new dr. asked when did my weight problem start, I told him from the dr. slap my bottom at birth...I had just about decided to throw in the proverbial towel, but after reading what you said about eliminating the corn and wheat, it encouraged me to try again...Thank-you...Naomi :thumbup:

Thank you. I did stabilize the ties. The pink and brown I made for a Bible Study Group my DD was attending. It was for a fund raiser and they made $283.
