Thank you all for liking my quilt. I really enjoyed making it. I'm going to do another one. Hope to see some of you make one and share pictures with us

Was the black fabric heavy or just a normal cotton? Your quilt is absolutely wonderful. One of THE best denim quilts i've seen. Thanks for sharing.

It is gorgeous! And full of memories, too!

Very nice! Love the black with it!

The black is Kona cotton 1" strips you do 1/4 seams so it end up 1/2" sashing around the squares.

The patterned fabric really stands out. Is it flannel?

No it printed denim I got yes a go for a skirt

Great quilt! I have a denim quilt since 1976 and it still looks new after all these years!

I love the way this one turned out. And oh the memories you have created. I have never seen a stained glass denim quilt. Looks great.

By chance what type of fabric did you use to frame the denim blocks..........regular cotton or black denim? And is that white/beige denim as I know I have some in my stash but just needed to know if you used all denim on the top or mixture of fabric types? Great layout.

It is all denim fabrics even the print fabric. The black is Kona cotton. If you want to use a reg. fabric I would put iron on interfacing on the back to help it last longer. I used all color of denim I have from real light blue. stonewash, med/dark blue, black. you can use whatever you have it will look good, the black pulls it together.

Thank for you nice comments everyone.

really nice levi quilt-like the black sashing

Thank you.

wow, kudos to you for dealing with jeans fabric, it looks very nice!

I like your design. A few questions - (1) How big is it? (2) What batting and backing did you use? and (3) Is your quilt really heavy?

Segues I will saving my old jeans too now. Beautiful job.

Kay size is 50"x 67" 2) I used black 80/30 Hobbes Levi backing 3) yes it is heavy. Next time I'll use a lighter Levi fabric for backing and I think I will use a Flannel or lighter batting. If I use flannel I will wash the flannel 2 or 3 time before I use it for a batting. If you need more info. PM me.

Great denim quilt! Welcome to the QB!

Job well done.

Your Jean quilt looks fantastic :)

You did a great job..

Ooooh - I've seen several pictures of a quilt of a similar pattern online, and it inspired me to buy interesting colours and patterns of jeans at the thrift store. I've found fantastic florals and a multitude of different colours from pink to purple, turquoise and orange, and of course, a million shades of blue. I get them in the largest plus sizes, because it's all about the fabric I can get out of them, of course.

I too, hope to make a pretty stained glass denim quilt like this.

Would you mind sharing how many of each size block you cut?

I absolutely love your denim quilt. I have a bunch of my dad's jeans and just have not known what to do with them. Maybe your denim quilt has inspired me. I was thinking about making a rag quilt with them but I like your design better. Do you need a denim needle and special thread? Did you have it quilted by a long arm quilter or did you quilt it yourself?

Size of squares are 2", 4", 6", 8" 10" and 12"sqs.

I cut about 3- 12", 4-10", 10-8", 20-6", 60-4",and 80-2" in Light blue, Med. blue, and Dark blue it is good to cut some extras of all the denim. Yes I long arm my on quilt. yes you need a larger needle size 100 if you do it your self, use a good thread. Cut your strips in between block into 1" strips. Sew with 1/4" seams.(I used Black Kona cotton fabric). Have fun making your quilt

very cool! I lovet that design with denim and yes, flannel instead of bat would work fine.

That turned out so good.

Fantastic quilt - looks like a stained glass window.

very nice denim quilt
