I have an entire box of jeans from my 400 lb dbil before his gastro bypass surgery and a bunch of my two son's jeans, I just need to do one. It looks great.

How did you sew over the seams of the denim? I always have a horrible time with that!

Very nice... I've been saving blue jeans for awhile now, still haven't made the quilt though.

Great quilt, but doing raggy flannel baby quilts about did me in! I can only imagine the wear and tear on the hands of doing the denim!! I'm sure he loves it, too!

I actually would sew squares together and once I had 11 of them, sew a whole row together with another row of 11, and then I would take a break and cut while I was watching tv with a spring loaded scissors. I think that is the secret, the scissors plus cutting a little here and there. As far as the seams, I wanted to have pockets in the quilt to make it interesting, but the extra thickness make it difficult to sew. I actually had to get my machine serviced once while making the quilt because I hit a belt loop and it was way to thick! So, after that I avoided belt loops and was super careful of any studs in the pockets. Believe it or not, it went together pretty quickly since they were 7 inch squares.

Great job on the quilt!
