up-cycled jeans in to denim quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
This turned out way bigger than I thought it would. 100x100 I am not even sure how many jeans I cut up for this bad boy. I used YBR pattern I don't have any pictures of it done but I quilted it on my Tin Lizzy, ran out of time before I needed to deliver it. Thanks for looking and I hope everyone has a great quilting week. :-)

Great denim quilt! It must be incredibly heavy.

Incredible! Look at all that denim! I like the pattern you chose. This gift will be greatly appreciated!

What an incredible job you did with the different shades of denim. Amazing!

Good job..... love it.....

KSellers 09-09-2014 05:26 AM

That is beautiful!! So I'm assuming you separated the denim by colors/shades before starting? I love it.

Very nice -- that is a lot of work! I'm sure it will be a much loved treasure.

debcavan 09-09-2014 06:46 AM

Wow, it is so pretty. Who would guess blue jeans had that many shades

Diane007 09-09-2014 06:57 AM

very striking quilt very nice

Plumtree 09-09-2014 07:04 AM

Thank you all so much :-) I actually didn't sort them. When I was cutting them they looked pretty much all same color wasn't until I started to put it together that I could see all the shades come out. It is incredibly heavy and the new owner is very happy with it.

awesome use of old jeans

barny 09-09-2014 11:11 AM

Whatever you did, it was good. The lights, meds, and darks are all in wonderful places. It is beautiful.

Beautiful denim quilt! By the time jeans around my house are ready to be cut up, they are a lot lighter in color than your jeans.

northern lass 09-09-2014 12:21 PM

Great quilt. Love the mix of denim colours together.

meyert 09-09-2014 02:53 PM

Wow! I bet that quilt will last forever! Love the gradients of blues-- I can imagine curling up in front of a fire with that big guy!

Paula Fullager 09-11-2014 05:36 AM

One of the nicest jean quilts I have seen. Nice job!

Wanabee Quiltin 09-11-2014 05:39 AM

I love the look of all the blues. I am thinking it is very heavy.

I love it. I'm saving my denims, too, but have lots to do before that.

Very nice!

MargeD 09-11-2014 04:19 PM

What a great quilt that will keep you nice and warm. My SIL has made several denim throw quilts, even adding the pockets from the jeans, and they are great at keeping you warm.

MNquiltlady 09-11-2014 04:45 PM

Great job!!!!!!!!!! I've thought about making a jeans quilt - just gotten around to it yet.
