Our son-in-law was saving his worn-out denim pants, saying he was going to make a quilt some day. Well, that was many years ago and I guess he is still saving his denim pants.
In the meantime, I found this beautiful denim patchwork quilt at a craft show and gave it to him for Christmas several years ago.
It is extremely well made. Size is about 4' x 6' including the fringe.
Very heavy even for a lap quilt.
Has great Farmhouse patches.

It has denim patches on the back as well. The artist did a great job of using the pockets on the back.
Notice the fringe edges on the squares.
Wish I could say I made it ... but that would be a lie ...
Just wanted to show it to you.
Blessings.

I cannot decide which side is my favorite. The patches are very pretty - espeiially Nibbles, but I think the ragged pockets win!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and unique quilt! I have made other things out of old jeans but never thought of a quilt! I just love it!
