Denim Quilt
 

May dd asked for a warm, fleece-backed quilt for their very cold basement TV room. She said any pattern would do so I got to play with a new style for me. I saw a sample of one of these denim quilts on Pinterest and thought this would be a great time to try it. I just pulled out six pairs of jeans which were headed for Goodwill, some black fabric from my stash and started cutting. The great part is that the 1" strips in between the denim squares mean you don't have bulky seams and the black really sets it off. I plan to quilt the top with a simple stipple with black binding. There's no fabric left from the jeans to do a border, but for TV watching, I don't think that's a problem. This is like a design-as-you-go project, and went together in no time at all. Just cut lots of squares 2"-4"-6"-8" and maybe 10" and start laying them out in whatever pattern you like. I plan to do another if I can find red and white jeans at Goodwill to add to regular blue denim.

Oh is that gorgeous. I love your design.

The black makes that fantastic- what a wonderful quilt!

Really turn out great!! I love it!!!

This is a great "tile" look! Love it!

Looks great!

well done! it looks awesome!

that is great-good upcycle

Thats a great design for a demin quilt! Love it!

That is really a great idea. Perfect for a quilt that is meant to be comfy, just like a pair of well worn jeans.

I love it!

That is great. I have lots of jeans waiting for a project.

I don't know about that quilt...maybe you'd better send it to me!

Maggie Sue, I will be putting a blue fleece backing on it along with a warm batting. I think they will be nice and cozy with the heavy, warm quilt.

What a fun pattern. It is GREAT!

I am wondering if fleece backing AND batting will make the quilt too heavy and too warm, even in a cold TV room. It is a beautiful quilt with the mixing of size and colors of blocks.

Very creative, love the repurposed jeans, it looks fantastic.

That is sewww beautiful, reminds me of mosaic tiles, this is awesome!!

Wonderful use of denim! Love the colors on it!

this came out wonderful.

Wow that's great! Makes me want to make one too :D Never did a denim quilt.

It really came oh great! The washing really helped it pop!

My friend and I were just talking about how we would like to do a denim quilt but a few things were stopping us. I think you just put to rest all my objections to it! Your pattern is beautiful!

Oh, my, that is so pretty. Love your design.

What a great looking quilt! The kitty is really cute, too! My cat would have been in the middle of the quilt!

I am not one for denim look quilts but your quilt is absolutely stunning! I will definitely give it a go in the future. It is a lovely quilt and I absolutely love it! :)
