Jeans Quilt

I had 5 pairs of my children's old jeans and were beyond repair. So I cut them into 8 x 8 squares and some were 8 x 4 rectangles. I arranged them as I desired. Using 1/2-inch seam allowance and with right sides together.

Sew the squares to each other forming one row. Then sew rows to each other.

With right sides together, I used an dark blue flat sheet as the back of the quilt.

Sew the front to the back (like a pillow case). Leave an opening for turning the right way. Then I sewed the last edge together.

And I have a quilt that will last a life time to pass on to my children's children. From jeans that my kids once wore.
