Grandad's Denim Jeans

This is a great idea for taking old denim pants and making something special out of them!  My client has 5 grown children (3 girls, 2 boys).  She made a denim quilt for each of them.  The fabric included family jeans and one special piece in each quilt from jeans that belonged to their deceased Grandfather.  All quilts are 66 x 85.

Quilt #1

 By sewing the denim in a brick pattern it eliminated bulky junctions where seams meet.

Here is the special block that is made from their Grand Dad's jeans.  This was his livestock brand. It is quilted on each of the special blocks on each quilt.

All the backings are flannel.  I quilted this one with brown thread.
