Denim Quilt for Riley — 6 Comments

  1. Thank you for posting this pattern! I am currently in the process of making quilt tops out of 28 pairs of jeans. I’ve made 4 different styles of quilt top and was looking for another style as after making the 4 tops, I still have 8 pairs of jeans and multiple scraps available!

    • Hi Connie! I am such a denim hoarder! And I love denim quilts. I’m currently working on a scrappy version. When you get your quilt top finished I would love to see it!

  2. Hi! I’m presently studying carefully this pattern. My husband passed last October 2021 and I was thinking making a memorial quilt with his old jeans. Already I have cut some jeans and realize that I don’t have enough even to make this quilt. This is no problem because I can find old jeans at a Frenchy used clothing store nearby. For the black sashing, what sort of material should I get? Just cotton material? Sometimes I take on projects wondering if it’s too huge to undertake. …thanks for your attention, Rose Anne Comeau from Nova Scotia, Canada

    • Hi Rose Anne!

      I just used a black quilting cotton for the sashing. This was one of the first quilts I made and I remember that it seemed to take forever to cut all those denim blocks. Riley is almost 21 now so that quilt is 7 years old! Last time I saw it, he was still using it and it was still all stitched together! I really loved the minky for the backing.

      I think you can make this quilt. It’s not difficult. This pattern would make a lovely scrap quilt, too.

      Good luck. Let me know how it turns out!

    • Thank you so much very letting me know about the quilt and the pattern. I think I want to make it again with a different fabric. And I did understand your English! Thanks again for reading and commenting!
