great job and that is on my to do list already..just have to collect jeans!

Looks great!

Wow that is lovely and so special.

I actually got it from the web...will see if I can find the link and post it here :D

Hope that this helps. I used 6 inch circles and roughly 4 inch squares....no batting or backing. It does take lots of thread tho. You can use a different color of thread in the bobbin if you like as it creates a nice design on the back of the quilt. :D I recently made a couple of grocery totes out of denim and scraps that I used a shade of blue similar to the denim and red and purple on the plain back for the bobbin. Hope that this makes sense? (probably clear as mud :( )

My quilt has 400 six inch circles in it and for the totes I used 36 six inch circles. I cut 24 inch strips of denim to make the handles. My DS and his g/f love the heaviness of the denim for the grocery totes. Hold up way better than plastic and easily washable. :D I also made 2 of the totes for a friends cancer benefit auction that each brought $20. :D

You will want to use a heavy duty needle in the machine tho as the denim is hard on them. :thumbdown:

Absolutely stunning...I love it. I thought of doing another denim quilt using this pattern but the only thing that stops me from doing it is just the weight and the massive amount of thread (I'm such a wimp sometimes!).

Love your quilt. I have see this pattern. I just got together a large bag of old jeans. I have got to try this. Great Quilt!

I really like the idea of the totes. Did you square off the ends to make the bottom boxy? Could be a lot of denim to sew through. One could really jazz up the totes depending on the fabric squares one uses; add some sequins, buttons or other embellishments. Or using some colored khaki or twill instead of the denim or with the denim.....Thinking thinking thinking. Thanks for sharing and thanks for donating to your friends benefit.

Great Quilt!!

Ha! I went to your pattern site and backed up into the list of jean patterns. Lo and behold, I have a jean pattern there also! I forgot that I had submitted pictures to that site....
this is my contribution to jean quilts:
