Improv Denim Quilt with Instructions

scrapfabriclove.com

This quick denim quilt project is one I made to get myself out of a sewing ‘rut’. It uses old jeans and leftover fabric strips.

Materials Used:

– Denim jeans – Moda scrap bag jelly – Batting – Quilt back

I started with a stack of 7″ denim squares from old jeans. I actually bought them pre-cut from someone else who was destashing on eBay.

Step 1: Adding some color

Step 2: Layout

Once I’d added my strips to all my squares I tried various layouts on the floor.

Step 3: Sewing Rows & Filling Gaps

Step 4: Quilting

I used my walking foot and a denim needle and quilted straight horizontal lines across my quilt.

Step 5: Fix for a Short Quilt Back
