My husband goes through a lot of jeans. I mean, A LOT! So, I started wondering what I could do with all those old jeans. The worn colors create depth and variety; I just couldn't let that go to waste. I came up with this Denim Weave Quilt. The back (not pictured) is all denim strips sewn together. It makes for a durable quilt that doesn't let sticks or rocks poke you when you sit down (very important out here). I only wish it were thorn-proof. :P
This was actually #2 of 2 denim quilts I made. I was pretty sick of denim after this and swore I would do no more. Since then, I have found some more patterns I like and have already started collecting more denim. It's actually pretty nice to work with. No batting; it's heavy enough without adding more bulk or weight, and no quilting. This one is tied together with a buttonhole stitch in thread matching the teal fabric. It's not visible in these pictures, but it worked pretty well. I was really happy with how it turned out. :)
