Indian Blue Jeans Quilt

Blue Jeans Quilts don't have to look like they are made from old blue jeans. I made this one using a purchased panel from Walmart and different colored old jeans plus some beads and a fleece backing to make this Indian style quilt for my sister. The blocks are laid out to represent the 4 directions and the beads (hard to see in the photo) also represent the 4 directions.

I have made many more blue jean quilts besides this one which you can find by doing a search on Webshots for blue jean quilts. This one is sort of a landscape blue jeans quilt with all of the background being out of used jeans. I used bleach to make the clouds and a little paint and a lot of free-motion quilting to get the details. The Eagle itself is not made from denim though.

Stunning!!! I have a huge bagful of old jeans in my cupboard. Must get down to making something out of them.

Ziggee, Could you go into more detail about how you make your quilt with fringe? Linda D.

Edie, I an totally inspired now to make a quilt. I am going to print your picture so I won't forget the pattern. Thanks

Absolutely beautiful! I wish I could have grasped the craft of quilting, but try as I did, I never could, that and sewing just did not click with me. :( I would give my eye teeth for a quilt as beautiful as that one. You should be very proud. I bet you make lots of money for them too. :)

I am making my second jean throw that I am making out of jeans. I sew the right sides together so when I wash it it will fringe. I love them that they are so warm and comfortable.
