A little over a year ago my very talented photographer Jen Whitfill ( Check out her website showcasing her beautiful work at https://jenwhitfill.zenfolio.com/ ) gave me 50 gallon garbage bag of denim blue jeans that were out grown, worn,or otherwise not being used.
I started this project by deconstructing the jeans. Removing the waist band, pockets, and thick double stitched in seams. This leaves large leg irregular rectangle pieces that can be cut into the 7 1/2″ squares for piecing the quilt. A side note: a cutting mat, rotary cutter, and square are essential tools for the heavy duty fabric cutting.
Breaking the king sized quilt into 4 patch blocks makes it manageable for a home machine. This also provides an opportunity to check the squaring of the blocks and make any corrections needed.
I used my White Serger to complete the piecing. I am very pleased with the quilt top and look forward to the completion of the basting, tie and binding to wrap up this project!
Thank you, as always for stopping by and spending some time with us at This Lil Pig Studios!
