Default Denim quilt

For the last several years as my hubs has broken "out" of his
jeans (from squatting down at work), he has brought them
home to me in case I wanted to "save" them for a quilt.

Last week was the latest pair he brought home for me, so I
washed them and proceeded to cut the legs out leaving the
pockets, (inner and outer) seams, zipper, and waist band.
Now take into account that my hubs is a BIG guy (6'3" & 370)
there is a lot of denim in the legs of his jeans.

I am curious as to how big of square and/or rectangle would
be a good size to cut the denim?

At this point I have only cut 1 pair of jeans (all I can find right now),
but I THINK that I have about 2-4 more pair (once I can locate them).

Not sure HOW big I should even plan the quilt because I KNOW
that it will be very heavy if I make it to big.

TIA for all suggestions.
