Denim quilts

I originally had another denim stained glass pattern in mind but, our friend was small so wouldn't have been able to cut any 12" squares (unless I left some leg seams in them which I thought might make the quilt even heavier less comfortable). I saw the idea for this quilt for a similar style but with smaller pieces on The Flemings Nine blog. There doesn't seem to be a pattern for it but, color blocks are pretty popular these days so a quick search will give you plenty of free blocks…

You guys! I just finished this beast-of-a-quilt, and it is gorgeous, even for denim! I don't normally do commission quilts, in fact, never. I don't have time. But my sister had a friend who begged to have a quilt made from all his old Levis. I quoted a price that I figured would change his mind, and he accepted! Now, I just needed about 50 hours to do it. At first, they brought over a bag of jeans that had basically one tone of denim. He must love a certain brand! To create any kind of…

This pattern is a fav of mine and as my pile of worn out jeans piled up, I put aside a layer cake bundle (10' squares from the same fabric line) to use as the centers. There's a bunch of tutorials and patterns online, but I used the pattern Forever in Blue Jeans by Fons and Porter available at Quilting Daily. I often get asked about the dimensions for this quilt, but I encourage quilters to purchase the pattern from the designer. I decided to sew the cotton fabric, batting and jeans together…

Pinterest is a great place for inspiration and I saw this quilt and quickly pinned it, knowing I would be back to make it. The pattern is found in Fons and Porter's Easy Quilts, Spring 2014 edition. Last week, I checked the magazines when I bought my groceries and bought the magazine. I think I could have figured it out on my own, but it's always nice to have a new magazine or two to browse through! I traced the circle template onto some template plastic that I've had for a very long time…

With summer upon us and spending lots of time outdoors, a picnic blanket was much needed. See how I made this denim blanket from old jeans!

So here is part 1 of the tutorial that I promised. As you may or may not know I am a huge recycler! I love to take things that are old or us...

So if you have seen part 1 of this tutorial and have all of your squares cut. Congrats! You are now ready to start piecing together your denim quilt! For those of you who have made a denim quilt before you should know that I might make mine a little different than you have seen previously. That is why I titled this tutorial "My Favorite Denim Quilt." Because this is my favorite (and I might say the fastest) way to make a denim quilt. I DO NOT use batting and I DON'T use the "Sandwich…

We love sewing with scraps of any kind no matter the fabric source. Jeans destined for the donation station take on new life in quilt form. The faded glory of vintage denim and the bright hue of a dark wash give denim quilts contrast and texture. If you don’t have a stash pile of old […]
