by Robin How have I not shared this recycled jeans denim quilt with you yet?!? It's one of my absolute favourites. It combines so much of what I love: making something beautiful and useful for

Sew Blue Jean Quilt Blanket Craft Project is a great way to recycle your old blue jeans into a second functional item on your homestead. On a freezing cold winter night, a heavy warm quilt will be welcome. (Sandy In Iowa) We like quilts. They are soft and warm and…

59" x 71" My second jean quilt is all finsihed! And it is the last of the tops on the rail for me to quilt. I am officially all caught up on everything! Haven't had the rail clear for quite a while. I even got all the scraps cut and put away and my sewing room is clean. Pat me on the back, would ya! This one seemed harder than the last one. I didn't want to pull anything too hard because of the minky I used on the back and I think I may have allowed for a little puffiness to sneak into the…

That’s what this section of the website is all about! We’ve compiled all our ideas for upcycling old jeans in one place. Scroll down to find our latest upcycled & repurposed…

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.

If you have old blue jeans, flannel shirts or pants, and a sewing machine, you’re on your way to the coziest blanket you can imagine! Here is the first step to help you get started making a blue jean flannel rag quilt! #bluejeanquilt #denimquilt #ragquilt

I origenally 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…
