The First Denim Block

I started on the denim quilt and made the first block.

 

 

This block is 24" x 30" right now and I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it.  I used chalk to mark some half and quarter circles on just to see what it would look like.  It's a maybe.  I definitely will make some more blocks.  See if you can tell which part of the jean the middle block came from.  😆

My goal is to make at least 3 more blocks and start putting them together this month.  Go to the Elm Street Quilts to see more June OMG. 


What are you working on this week?

Have a great week and thanks for visiting.

    I like how the creases on the denim are making patterns! The first block looks pretty, have fun stitching the others!
    Thank you for sharing your creations, and linking up ;)

    Love the different colors of denim you've collected. This will be such a cool quilt! It'll be very heavy though so my recommendation is not to add batting and to tie or tack quilt it. Can't wait to see what you do! Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

    Did you finish the denim project? What does it look like?

    Using old jeans is a great way to upcycle/repurpose them. I'm guessing the middle blocks creases come from behind the knees, but that is wild speculation. Could also be just below the "seat".
