What did you use to back the log cabin quilt? I have my jeans saved but I wasn't sure that I wanted to do a rag quilt. I really like your log cabin quilt.

I LOVE your denim log cabin...what a great idea! Keep up the great work!

LOVE IT!!!

That is just a great looking denim quilt! I love the idea of doing a log cabin.

Your jean quilt turned out fantastic! I have been saving jeans for years. I would love to make a quilt from all our old jeans...I just haven't found the courage to do it yet...would love to hear some tips!

Wow! Beautiful!
I am currently working on my first machine sewn quilt (I am an EPP so it goes slowly, I want to complete a project before I fall off the perch!)...a denim rag with flannel back, I am using a really thin polar fleece as "batting" and x in the middle to hold it still. 1/2 inch seam allowances all round. I also saved bits and pieces and have done some big squares in crazy and strips, I think it's morphing into a quilt. I hadn't thought of doing log cabin. Thanks so much for sharing your pics.

I got most of the jeans from charity shops, sometimes they have 50% off and you can get them for $1 each. Big sizes give more fabric. I am sincerely thankful for all the 80's tragics who are clearing their closets...acid wash, stone wash and colours like red, purple and green. Watch out for those containing elastane (not always on the label) they don't "rag".

Now if my husband would stop having the "cast of thousands" over each week I can leave the dusting and sprucing and get on with the important stuff of life - quilting!

wonderful log cabin. Use denim had to make it a little harder.

I think they look great!

That is so pretty. I bet it's heavy.

Yes, we would love to hear all of your advice in regard to working with jeans.

That log cabin is just so lovely, the color combination is so soothing to the eye. If you ever get tired of it, I would give it a good home! :mrgreen:
