I'm making a denim prayer quilt made from jeans that were donated to the ministry. The quilt is for a dear friend, that we've known for a long time. He will be having open heart surgery in January 2013.
I follow this tutorial for denim quilts made from jeans.
Preparing to pin it.

Using my new Machingers gloves for the first time!
Love them!
It's been awhile since I linked up to W.I.P. Wednesday at Freshly Pieced so I thought I'd join in this week! If you're visiting from there or are a follower thanks for stopping by!

What a great idea! It looks brilliant, have fun quilting!
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind thing to make for your friend! Do you put batting in it? The last time I made a jeans quilt was many many years ago (before I was a quilter actually so it's tied rather than quilted) but it's held up so well and is very warm!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful use of denim! I'm sure the quilt will be loved!
ReplyDeleteIt came out very nice. It will be a great comfort to your friend. Hugs, Sis.
ReplyDeleteI like the way the different shades look together. I really have to try that sometime -- we've definitely got the old jeans for it!
ReplyDeleteI love the different denims together... a fabulous quilt. I've been wanting to make a rag rug denim quilt, to use as a picnic blanket, but I'm thinking that maybe a quilt like this would be better. Hmmm.... decisions, decisions.
