here a few picture while making this quilt and a few facts.
queen size 27 1/2 pairs of mans denim pants 324 round blocks ( all cut by hand , I must of cut for 3 or 4 days ) 324 color cotton blocks 72 outside boarder pieces ( all cut by hand ) 26 minutes to sew one strip of flower peddles down when I joined my strips together 12 1/2 hours of actual sewing time. ( my sewing machine keep track of actual time when it sews ) weight is 11 lbs. im estimating about 10,000 yrs of thread hammer to hammer down thick seams |
beautiful and worth all that work. must be nice and warm. very nice work
|
Just Beautiful! That has got to be a really warm quilt!! Great job!!
|
Wow! It was worth it. You must have a nice heavy duty machine.
|
LOVE IT! I have two large boxes of denim just waiting for me to do something with. It is on my bucket list. Maybe next year. The grandkids want to build a tree house and I plan on making some kind of utility quilt for them to use in the "cabin". I have the instructions for the quilt but don't remember if it said anything about the outer edges. How did you do them?

see how it looks like a flower peddle will I just cut the peddle and sewed it to the edges |
amazing denim quilt-I want to try this one some day

That is my favourite pattern for a denim quilt but soooo much work. It looks great!
|

|
Wonderful heavy duty quilt. I am sure it will be as warm as it is pretty.
|
Wow! What a labor of love!! It's gorgeous!
|
Gorgeous quilt! I did not realize it would be so heavy. I'm making one for me and my dog's bed .... something durable!
|
I'm not a fan of denim quilts, but you may change my mind. I love your quilt! What a lot of work!

That is such a pretty quilt done in denim. I cannot imagine how much work in it. You did a great job.

Looks great! If you get the urge to make another, I suggest you try the Olfa Circle Cutter. Last time I used mine, I cut 40 in less than 10 minutes. It's great!

only 11 pounds. they feel much heavier when you're sewing. To me anyway. Nice job.
