No I’m not kidding, just right now go to your son or nephew and ask him will he accept one like that? But what if you give him a quilt made up of his favorite colors in jeans? Bet me he’ll love it and keep it with him for all his life.

For every boy, jean quilts are priceless. You can even make a small quilt made up of only pockets, and he can hang it on the wall and use the pockets to stash the things in them. Denim quilts are very popular being very tough and resistant. You can even make a small lap quilt for your pet or you can make an oversized quilt for the picnics.

We all use denim pants regularly, every sex, every age and everywhere. Every one of us has some stock of old, worn off, old fashioned denim pants or denim skirts. Why not recycle them for a good use? Wash the jeans and dry them. It can take forever to pluck the seams apart and even if you do so you might get only a half inch more fabric? So better cut it with a sharp scissors.

Examine the denim and throw away fabric that's thin and stretched out of shape. Be sure to take a close look at the knees and seats. Now iron all of your denim pieces and you're ready to cut patches for the quilt. You will need extra sharp rotary cutter for denim.

Now cut the denim into pieces right in accordance to your pattern. Now join all the pieces to form block. Complete piecing. You might not need batting for denim as it is heavy itself. But still if you want something in it than go for the flannel piece. Now use a flat plain blue colored sheet for the backpack lining. Make a binding either with a darker shade of denim or you can even use a plain fabric in contrast.

Denim quilts are easiest to make and are most comfortable to use. Washing, ironing and maintaining them is very convenient. Blues can be fun, they are not always depressing.
