Wow!!! Very nice.

Meeeeeeeeeee tooooooo i love to hear some tips

I've made a few raggy quilts with jeans, but never thought of doing a log cabin. Did you do any thing different from using cotton? Were your seams 1/4"? Were you careful to cut on the grain? I have about 1000 pairs in the attic and some assorted colors. Ok that's definetly on the list for after Christmas.

What a great denim quilt!!! I love all of the special touches and the pillow is just toooo cute :D :D :D

These quilts are so nice! I had not thought of making a rag quilt with the old jeans.
Love your kitty cat!

Thanks for the tip on larger seams for denim. I have never done a denim quilt. Yours is great!

What should the seam width be for denim?

You are so clever! What a great idea for jeans.

I love this thread! I have been saving a huge laundry basket full of my old jeans to "someday make a quilt". I'm not too in love with rag quilts, but these are great!! I really like the circle one on the first page - I was wondering though - does anyone know how the connecting seams hold up?

The Log Cabin is beautiful! Any tips on making it? Like everyone else here, I have been saving up my husbands old jeans. He wants me to use them to make a bed for the dog!

I made my first denim quilt in the early 1980's last I knew it was still in service :!: Nephews have also gotten denim graduation quilts in the 90's and they are still being used. Do a search on the QB for denim and you will find lots of info as well as Google search for "denim quilt" or "blue jean quilts" about.com has info on the circle denim quilt posted in another thread. PS the rag quilts shed lint in the dryer big time!

Question - would I need a walking foot to top-stitch the circle quilt? I still haven't gotten one...

Great work.

I think there is a tutorial on Missouri Star Quilt. They used flannel backing, stitched each square, and then assembled them. Looked really neat. They did another with minkee fabric, but I think that is much harder to use as it slips and slides easily.
