I read that denim makes a good blanket for camping-that pine needles won't poke through the denim fabric

This is so cute. Does each square have one side denim and one side cotton or flannel? Thanks for sharing!

the back is mostly jeans...i did have some denim fabric as well that i alternated with the old jeans pieces....the flannel was used in the front and some of the stars..

I love all the ideas on here! I can't wait to try some of these. I have some denim saved back (I never throw anything away, lol) and I'm thinking about going to get more while I can at a cheap price. This thrift store I found in Caruthersville, MO with the big garbage sized bags that you can fill up for a $1 from certain bins...they always have plenty of jeans and jean material jackets/shirts, etc. Since I have the room (big ol' Victorian) I think I should, especially with all this talk about fabric prices increasing.... Can't beat this price!
This was my latest project using denim - a rag quilt, approx 36x42, made from 8" squares of assorted denim, backed in flannel squares and then free motion quilted in each square.

Years ago I saved my kids old corduroys and jeans and cut them up... about two big totes worth. With all these great ideas... guess I'll revisit my collection.

I love this idea of using different colored denim in a log cabin quilt!

that is a beautiful DP9 quilt. I keep forgetting there are so many different shades of denim to use in quilts.

I love this thread and have been saving jeans for a beach quilt. It is on the list of things to do but reinspired by what everyone has shared here.
