Be sure to get a Schmetz Denim needle. It makes sewing on denim much easier. I made rag quilts mixed with flannel

Faux cathedral windows looks awesome. I just received a pile of jeans and will make one.

When my boys were young I decided to make a denim coverlet for the mattress in the back of our van.

I had the "bright" idea that since jeans are usually made with flat fell seams, that I should put it together that way. Intersections of seams were interesting to say the least. It never got beyond lap quilt size. Wonder why? Lol! Anyway it was great, just as that single layer of denim (plus lots of seams).

Am collecting denim pieces to make another but I'm going to use regular seams this time! And thinking about making it a rag quilt.

Jenny Doan from Missouri Star has a tutorial on a denim quilt. I also saw a vendor table at a craft show that was pocketbooks made from the top of the jeans, and I mean the top of the jeans with everything intact. They were lovely.
