Super fast and easy denim quilt made from old jeans. I used pants from the 80's and 90's in mine.

  • Let's talk about what to do with old denim jeans. This is a great way to repurpose old clothes into something really useful and fun. It's show and tell time.

    I've been saving jeans to make a denim quilt and I have some of my dad's old flannel shirts that I'm planning to use with the denim. Seeing your denim quilt has made me even more excited about making it.

    I jumped in and made 8 denim quilts for Christmas for my grandkids. I made every one different. They are by no means perfect. But they were made with love and hopefully will last a long while. I used old jeans and clothes from my kids and myself. I visited a local thrift store for many pieces. They even called me when they had a denim fabric donation. I still have enough left over to make a few more. It was a lot of work, but it was kind of fun to design them ( with help from Pinterest and CZcams). Love your quilt!

    I used to have a bolt of the patchwork bandana print that you’ve used for your quilt backing. I made many items with that fabric. I wish I could find that fabric so I could purchase more to add to a jeans quilt!

    • @SoftSquares
      @SoftSquares  Před 9 měsíci

      I wonder if you could find it on ebay or just by doing a Google search. I made that quilt 25+ years ago and have no idea what it is called. I wish I could be more help.

    I'm planning to make 3 quilts with jeans for my daughter's and I. The jeans are predominately from their father with a few of mine thrown in. the other fabric will come from his cotton shirts. I thought this will be a nice way to remember him and keep a bit of him with them.

    • @SoftSquares
      @SoftSquares  Před 2 lety

      that will be wonderful. a keepsake and a memory quilt all in one. I'm sure the fact that it was hand made by you will also give it an added special meaning.

  • @glendacohn8897

    Love this jean quilt! I've been searching for a good pattern and color idea for years. I'm wondering how big your squares are? I'm guessing bigger than 6" X 6" because the squares look bigger than your hand does in the video.

    • @SoftSquares
      @SoftSquares  Před rokem +2

      Thank you for commenting. The squares are 10x10, but were cut by hand because I didn't have a clue about rotary cutters. The bigger blocks are easier and you have have zippers and pockets!

  • @debisho01
    @debisho01 Před 2 měsíci +1

    I love your quilt- how many 10” squares length and width?! My first one was 8.5” squares with the double seam on the diagonal, no batting, backing of chambray so it was all cotton. That was before jeans had stretch and I didn’t know about rotary cutters either. It was 9x7 squares and I just tied front to back with cotton floss. To me it is a perfect year round cover….

  • @LisaLisa-zl9vu
    @LisaLisa-zl9vu Před 3 měsíci +1

    Did you have to stabilize the denim for stretch issues or cotton fabric to make it thicker? My denim sadly has stretch so I’m worried about making a quilt like this. Yours is sweet!
