Denim Quilt Faux Cathedral Windows
#15
This is funny- I just saw this pattern on Inventivequilts.com. I tried to do it but sewing my circles together didn't work very well. How did you put it together so they would lie straight? Did you make a template so each circle was sewn in the same place?
I really love this idea and would be almost indestructible. You did a great job on this quilt!

Good Morning! I made this quilt for a family that has two small boys and another child on the way. I cut denim circles out of pants and then 5" squares out of novelty scraps for an I Spy like quilt. It is large enough for parents and kids to sit on outside. Heavy also. I really like the way the edges of the denim circles fringed when I snipped them. Of course the washing machine was a mess after I washed it. This quilt was fun to make.

Just saw Nancy do this pattern Saturday on Sewing With Nancy. The new catalog has the tool to make circles and a video on this pattern and more. Ordering it soon. I love the one you did it is so pretty and will be so much fun for your family. A great way to recycle old jeans.

Denim Quilt Faux Cathedral Windows information
Attached are the pictures of the templates I made in order to make this quilt. When I started sewing the circles together they came out wonky so I made a 4.5" square template and used that to trace the square in the denim circles. That was my stitching line and never a wonky circle again.. I used the cut out square as an I Spy template so I could see what will show through the cathedral window.
Hope this helps.
And also thank you for all the wonderful comments.
