Recently I acquired a bunch of denim from a neighbor in my Buy Nothing group. I need ideas! Most are partial leg lengths, some rectangles. Various shades & content among the pieces. No pockets, alas!
Typically I would cut them up into squares for a flannel/denim patch blanket (Ya know, where you let the edges of each patch‘s 4 seams unravel and get fringey/ruffly), but I am tired of those after making so very many.

I love denim blankets because I must have something with weight to sleep…was the denim you used for yours already faded like that? I am thinking of washing some of the pieces of darker denim in bleach water since I don’t like the dark as much as the faded…Love your backing as well.
I used actual worn out jeans and every block is one pair of jeans, that’s why they are all different. But used jeans isn’t ideal because it doesn’t lay flat (as you can see in the picture). Men’s jeans are better because the fabric is usually more stiff, but I only found that out when I was almost done with this quilt.
