Thanks for the denim quilt pattern. I've been saving my families old jeans for years with this in mind, but have never found a pattern. I just stumbled onto your site and I love it. I made this quilt (my first quilt ever!) in just 2 evenings. One to cut out squares and one to sew and clip it. The only thing I didn't have patience for was washing it more than once :), so I informed them it would get better with every wash. I added embroidery in a couple of squares since I work at EmbroidMe, to personalize it. Thanks again. P.S. I'm in Bakersfield, California. Rebecca
Hi Helen, Thanks for the denim rag quilt pattern. I doubled the size to make it a picnic quilt. I used a fishing motif and my 33 year old son loved it. Now I am making them for my other 3 sons and my husband. I've been collecting used jeans all year and now have enough. Thanks so much for sharing. Also, the hint of using denim snips was really helpful. I have a son who spent two years on a mission for our church in Australia. He loved the country and the people. That makes this pattern even more special. He is in Iraq serving in the military at the present time. Thanks again for your help, Julie
Hi Helen, I’ve just finished my rag quilt, thanks to your helpful instructions. It is my first quilt and has brought me much joy and excitement. Have a great day! Trudy
Good grief ... isn't e-mail wonderful!?!? Here you are in Australia and I am in the state of Virginia in the USA. And you have very kindly supplied me with a pattern for a denim rag quilt. THANK YOU! Ann Ward Hampton, Virginia USA

This Denim
Quilt is so "easy" -- and cheap --
to make. All you need are 6-8
pairs of old jeans and
2 metres
or
2½ yards
of flannel fabric. The more variety
in jean colours, the more interesting your result will be.
The great
thing is that you don't even have to wash
the flannel fabric. Infact,
it is very important that you
don't" wash the fabric. This means you
can
get
started straight away!
Best of
all, these rag quilts make perfect "masculine" quilts so, they make
an ideal
gift for husbands, brothers, uncles, sons, newphews, grandfathers
and
grandsons. I made this denim
rag quilt for my husband and he just loves
it!
RAG
QUILTING
Rag
quilting is an old fashioned favorite. The
soft
raggy seamed-quilts have become extremely popular in home decor in
recent times. Rag
quilts serve as
great
lap
quilts and TV blankets, as well
as picnic or travel
rugs and are just perfect to "snuggle" under, while
reading your favorite book or magazine.
You can
use almost any fabric that will "fray"
nicely
for your rag quilt. Rag
quilts can be made from flannel, homespun, polar fleece, new denim
or as in
this example, recycled jeans. It's best
to choose fabric with a loose
type of weave that
will
ravel and fray easily. Using
a variety of flannels or homespuns and combining
different plaids will
give a great country look.
A
nice quilt can be made with old Jeans on one
side
and flannel on
the back as shown in this example. I chose
to use old jeans because of the great warmth
and extra
durability provided. If
using
recycled jeans
or new denim there is no
need to add batting. The
quilt
is plenty "warm" enough.
Using
this "raggy strip" technique, the blocks in
this
type of
quilt are sewn with the raw edges
out.
This means the seams are
featured on the front of these simple quilts, instead of
hidden
away inside.
After
the quilt is complete, it is washed. The
raw-edged seams become "frayed" and "fluffy",
making lines of fuzzy detailing. The result is a delightful three
dimensional texture.
Raggy
quilts are completed "quickly" because
the front and back are stitched at the same time. So,
as soon
as
the front is finished, the
whole quilt is ready to
enjoy! This quilt is very cosy and warm - a perfect Campfire
Quilt!
