Denim Quilt Faux Cathedral Windows
2 Attachment(s)
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.
|
Neat idea. Thanks. Hugs
|
Wonderful quilt, I was making one but mine turned out to be a table cover as it was very heavy! Great quilt!!
|
It's GREAT! I love denim. What a great picnic quilt.
|
All I can say is "WOW". Your quilt is wonderful. What a treasure for your family and what fun.
|
Darling quilt. I think it well be well used.
|
Love it! Terrific quilt!!
|
Wonderful quilt - rugged yet playful.
|
I love this quilt! Love cathedral windows, and rag quilts, never thought of putting the two together!
|
yes great idea
nice |
Such a clever idea to make the windows I spy. The family will have so much fun with this quilt. I have lots of old jeans, this would be a fun project.
|
Awesome!!!
|
This is a very clever idea you are a very talented lady.
|
yours turned out great .I am making one now its a red white and blue. Did you put in the 4" squares of batting or leave it out I was thinking of leaving it out
|
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! |

Love it! Looks like it will give them joy for a very long time : )

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.

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. |
This looks so nice!!! Thanks for sharing.

Good job. Colorful.
|
Love it! I want to make one of these with my Dad's old overalls. How big was the circle?
|
wow you did a great job. Love how the denim fringed up. Very cool.
|
Oh, I love your quilt. The family will really love it.
|
Wow! How many pair of denim's did you use on it? That is a really cool idea.
|
I've been working on one, but using denim yardage acquired from a friend. It became a ufo....now, I want to dig it out and work on it!
|
That is super cool!! I love it!

Love it, love it, love it, love it! Must make it! Thanks for the inspiration!
|
Great quilt! It would be great in acollege dorm room too!
|
A great looking quilt. I love it.
|
I love it. You did a great job. Thanks for sharing this. It would be pretty in any fabric, but your focus fabrics are just spectacular. Everyone will love it and want one. You might want to take the next rag quilt to the commercial Laundromat. It is easier on your machine!
|
My two little grandsons would love this. I have the I SPY squares so I will need to go to Goodwill on 25 cent/Tuesday and purchase come more jeans. Thanks.
