Super Easy Denim Quilt
Old denim jeans or new denim fabric
Old flannel shirts or new plaid flannels or polar fleece scraps
Cut old denim jeans or purchased denim fabric into 7-inch squares (or any
size you want).
Cut flannel shirts (or whatever you are using) into 7-inch squares, cutting
out the same number as denim squares you have.
Place one denim and one flannel square together with the wrong sides to the
middle.
Sew two blocks together with the flannel pieces facing each other, using
1/4 or 1/2-inch seams. Raw seam is on the denim or right side.
When quilt is complete, snip denim seams a little bit and then run through
the washer and dryer. Seams will fray like the bottom of cut jeans and the flannel
color will show up in the seams to add color to the denim or right side.
Add a row of stitching around the outside of the entire quilt for stability
after washing or bind the quilt in the traditional way with a contrasting print,
striped denim or duck fabric.
You can make this quilt any size just by the number of blocks you use.
You can always add rows later if you find you want to make the quilt a little
larger.
