Your quilt is beautiful, looks like a lot of work, but you did a fantastic job, love the color combo.

Nicely done! Looks like hours and hours of work! End result worth it!

I bet that weighs a ton! I really like a heavy quilt to snuggle under! Love the 'round the world layout.
I have a stack of boys' jeans, but not sure I'm brave enough to attempt this!

I can see where they'd be a lot of work but they certainly are gorgeous!

Love it, made one many years ago for my great nephew, only mine is not as big as yours. He still has it and loves it. I used to have lots of people giving me their jeans, and I gave much of the pieces away to a friend who I got hooked on quilting.

I have been holding on to my jeans too, wondering what to put into the middle??? You have solved that problem. Thank You!!! I love the brown but I'm going to use my late DH shirts ..Thank You!!! Again. It will give me something to cut out in the evenings now. Very nice job by the way.....

I admire your diligence. 2 the same deserves a medal in my book, it is fantastic and I love the tan with the pale denim.

It's really nice, how big is it? I bet it is super heavy and hard to maneuver, wtg! How many sons do you have? That looks like a lot of jeans! My DH lost some weight and I'm thinking of doing something with his old (like new) jeans. Maybe I'll just save them till he grows into them again. lol.

Looks great...

I'm still cutting Crown Royal bags to inset into my blue jeans quilt done the same way. I think my circles will start at 9 inches so it will only be 12 by 10. Yours is beautiful and a lot of work to be sure. Nice job.

Great! Hmm, I have a shopping bag full of jeans(donated), another full of flannel and the circle magic templates.....so away I go! Oh, yes, have GO....circle die, square die.....wonder if that would work.....

Love your work, wonderful. Thank you.

ManiacQuilter2 02-19-2015 01:53 PM

Looks great with all the various shades of blue jeans.

Love your quilt! I have attempted this but haven't quite gotten it right yet. I do have a question about how much of an overlap you had in the corners of the inside square. I've figured out the circle just not how to complete it without getting a "hole" where they come together. I've watched the MSQ video but that circle is too large for my son's jeans so I'm making my own size like you did. Also did you mark your curved sewing lines or just wing it? Thanks for your help. I love your flannel in the centers.
