Random! Kinda reminds me of the Chopsticks quilt pattern. Great video, I like that you are not afraid to change as you go and try new ideas. Keep up the great work, your quilts are wonderful.
I’m in the process of cutting out squares of my old jeans to make my first ever quilt. You said something so profound 11:32 “try and make it a straight line; but if it’s not, ya know, we’re not going to stress” no mistakes, only happy little accidents! Thanks for saying that!
There is absolutely no rule that it has to be straight! Plenty of improv quilters aim for not straight on purpose. So if it all goes ‘wrong’ just do more of the same and call it intentional! Have fun!
Already commented but then This popped in my mind. Decades ago when I graduated from high school, my aunt made me a beach throw out of old denim pieces. It was a lot like this except the pieces were random like a crazy quilt and there was no Quilting it was just that one layer of denim. I Loved that quilt kept it in my car and it went everywhere with me. Lots of great memories on the beach. Wish I still had it, so maybe I can do a re-creation.
Several ideas came to mind. Any large scrap squares ⬛ or scrap strip in any random combination. Gees I have all the material needed for this. But leg strips from denim jeans 👖 from thrift stores is ideal. I make bags 🎒 from the jeans tops. Nothing is ever wasted. As I noted in your comment, ideal for any size project from drink 🍸 coaster, mug rug, placemat, zipper pouch 👝 to cushion cover. I am so into funky styles and colours. The idea of using my ribbon 🎀 and ric rac collection could make some fun textural colours and elements. I prefer stitch and flip and pressing scraps in advance. I'm sure everyone will have their own sewing preferences. I like the variety of angles. Perfect matching would drive me nuts. I look forward to seeing the next episode. Cheers from the Harris home in Geraldton Western Australia 🇦🇺💜🥰🖐👍
Just tooo dang CUTE. Easy to make. THANKS. The strips don't have to be set in, just on top!!! This one next ))) First sewing lines ARE the quilting!! Brilliant!! This one goes to my friend who has a dog on the bed. It will survive an active dog because the color stripes are not set in and the main cloth is denim. Lots of happy all around. )))))
I keep coming back to this quilt! I think I have to make one like it. A local church thrift shop had jeans on sale for $.50 each! I grabbed 11 of them in the biggest sizes I could find. I will follow your cutting guide in another video. I have made several denim rag quilts in the past but want to make a regular denim quilt. I thought about using your favorite quilt as you go technique but think I will use the method you used here. Thank you so much for this tutorial - and the finishing one also!
I cut out 10" denim squares for a quilt, but had a bunch of smaller squares leftover. This looks good for those leftover pieces. I cut them so they can be put together into bigger squares like a 6 x10 and a 4x10.
Hello! I hope you had a joyful day! I just got out of my sewing room and sat down to watch your video. I'm enjoying your content and love to learn new things. I hope you have a fabulous week ahead! Thank you for sharing this video and your time.
Hello Kristen! This is such a great tutorial! I have been cutting my husband’s Levi’s that he has been “getting rid” of and secretly stashing them while trying to figure out what design to make for him. This is it, thank you! I’ll be watching the next video soon but it’s midnight here in the U.S. Thanks again for sharing, love it! 👍🏻😁
My oldest wants a denim quilt with blue cotton between each block. This would be so nice a pattern! I'm going to make a couple odd size things from the pieces I can't use so she can see it. TY for the awesome tips!
Love your creative take on quilting!!! I think this would make an awesome ragged quilt. I’m thinking that this is going on my to do list!!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas!
I love your creativity. I have just recently been given some black jeans and now they have a purpose, yay! I think I will do the random all over. Thanks for another great video!
Very cool! I've never thought about using denim in a quilt. I always thought that would be too heavy. But I like this idea and the look of the blocks. It seems like quite a freeing kind of construction.
I love denim in quilts but then I like a heavy quilt too. I’m finished my blocks for this quilt and now putting it all together. I’ll probably have another video on it in a week or two. Thanks for watching!
Love it! I think I’d go in random directions-a little like a larger scale version of Gudrun’s ‘Glacial Ice’ pattern from her Quilts of Iceland book. I tend to overthink layouts, and it would reduce bulk in seams. My wish list of future projects keeps growing. Thanks for THAT! 🤣😂🤣 Thanks for sharing your creative ideas and techniques!

I’ve not seen the one you are talking about but I think I get the idea - so the strips don’t end up in the same place in the seams I’m guessing? Have fun with it however you do it!
Yes of course you could! I’ve done something similar for some zipper pouches for friends using all my sorts of decorative stitches. You can make this one your own in so many ways.
Olá. Adoro seus projetos. São incríveis, maravilhosos e únicos. Gostaria de saber qual é o nome dessa técnica de: pegar 1 quadrado e colocar nele em ângulos tiras, que formará um novo quadrado lindo? Obrigada
Congratulations... Nice job... I'm in Europe, in Portugal. I have trouble finding fabric scraps to buy, especially to make Sashiko, WHERE did you manage to buy so many scraps, and the Jeans cut into squares? THX.
I buy almost everything off eBay from other folk offloading. I’m in the U.K. and there are a fair number of folk selling their leftovers. I’ve also bought some on Etsy. Good luck on your search!
If you need to buy scraps..lol..you probably don’t quilt because thats where scraps come from,.but a thrift store is a good place to go to buy scraps..good luck..🇨🇦
Hi! I actually have an older video on how to cut up jeans (back from when the channel had a different name!): th-cam.com/video/9-ye0-fEN0A/w-d-xo.html Occasionally I also see clever folk on eBay selling pre-cut denim squares in various sizes. Hope that helps!
Glad you liked it. There is a written tutorial for the whole quilt and a second video that should help. You can find them here scrapfabriclove.com/how-to-make-a-denim-quilt-quilt-as-you-go-also-uses-quilting-scraps/
Would you make diamonds or just have the strips going in all kinds of random directions?
Random! Kinda reminds me of the Chopsticks quilt pattern.
Great video, I like that you are not afraid to change as you go and try new ideas. Keep up the great work, your quilts are wonderful.

I love this! I have a bag of denim saved that I didn’t know what I would use it for. So fun!
Fab! Great timing then!
😍You’re so inspiring! Would you consider using decorative stitches? Thank you for sharing!
Yes of course you could! I’ve done something similar for some zipper pouches for friends using all my sorts of decorative stitches. You can make this one your own in so many ways.

💗💗💗
Would you please provide the link to the video in which you assemble the blocks together.
Hasn’t come out yet but the quilt is finished and I am hoping to post it tomorrow!
Congratulations... Nice job...
I'm in Europe, in Portugal.
I have trouble finding fabric scraps to buy, especially to make Sashiko,
WHERE did you manage to buy so many scraps, and the Jeans cut into squares?
THX.
I buy almost everything off eBay from other folk offloading. I’m in the U.K. and there are a fair number of folk selling their leftovers. I’ve also bought some on Etsy. Good luck on your search!
@@ScrapFabricLove OK, THX
Greetings from Portugal
Nice Job...
If you need to buy scraps..lol..you probably don’t quilt because thats where scraps come from,.but a thrift store is a good place to go to buy scraps..good luck..🇨🇦
Where do you get your denim squares? Any good suggestions for cutting up jeans?
Hi! I actually have an older video on how to cut up jeans (back from when the channel had a different name!): th-cam.com/video/9-ye0-fEN0A/w-d-xo.html
Occasionally I also see clever folk on eBay selling pre-cut denim squares in various sizes. Hope that helps!
I am DOING THIS!! thank you for the demo! Also, how many squares do you need for this?
Glad you liked it. There is a written tutorial for the whole quilt and a second video that should help. You can find them here scrapfabriclove.com/how-to-make-a-denim-quilt-quilt-as-you-go-also-uses-quilting-scraps/
Do you have denim that has stretch in it or strictly cotton?
These ones are mostly non stretch but I have used stretch for quilts before. Since you are quilting and then trimming it shouldn’t make a difference.
😍
