    Super Easy Denim Quilt


    Source of Recipe


    rgm

    List of Ingredients




    Old denim jeans or new denim fabric
    Old flannel shirts or new plaid flannels or polar fleece scraps

    Recipe



    Cut old denim jeans or purchased denim fabric into 7-inch squares (or any size you want).

    Cut flannel shirts (or whatever you are using) into 7-inch squares, cutting out the same number as denim squares you have.

    Place one denim and one flannel square together with the wrong sides to the middle.

    Sew two blocks together with the flannel pieces facing each other, using 1/4 or 1/2-inch seams. Raw seam is on the denim or right side.

    When quilt is complete, snip denim seams a little bit and then run through the washer and dryer. Seams will fray like the bottom of cut jeans and the flannel color will show up in the seams to add color to the denim or right side.

    Add a row of stitching around the outside of the entire quilt for stability after washing or bind the quilt in the traditional way with a contrasting print, striped denim or duck fabric.

    You can make this quilt any size just by the number of blocks you use.

    You can always add rows later if you find you want to make the quilt a little larger.
