The Quilt

The post Amy made on Your Life Uncommon about rag quilts reminded me that I wanted to show off my denim rag quilt.  A while back, Tam came to me with a big bag of all of Tyrel's old jeans.  It took me a while to get started on the project and it took nearly 9 months to complete, but I'm happy with the outcome...
 
 I let Tyrel pick out the fabric for the back.  He chose "Old Utah Jazz" colors.  I think it was an awesome choice.
Some of the fun features
This is a close up of one of the patches.  I felt like the front of the quilt didn't have enough color so I threw these on there to tie in with the back.
This is a pocket I made out of a few different pockets.
So yeah, that's my quilt.  If you ever want to make your own quilt or have any questions about how I made mine, let me know and i will help you as best as I can.  Also, just a little shout out to my dad saying thanks for teaching me how to sew!

Oh I love it! I just love all of the little details! That is what is so fun about your sewing projects Suzi! They always seem to have a little Suzi flare. I have a bag full of jeans too that I'm going to try and make a quilt with. It looks like you took yours through the machine rather than tying it. I like I like.
