Looking for a project to use all those saved, no-longer used denim jeans? This up-cycled denim quilt is not only good on the eyes, it is utilitarian. Use it for a wall hanging, as a lap blanket or my favorite…a picnic blanket. My goal when saving back my old jeans was to make a picnic blanket. I needed a blanket that would be easy to grab out of my trunk for an impromptu picnic. Those are the best. And since this quilt is already made from almost discarded fabric I feel good about recycling and won’t be sad if it is stained from either food or the ground. Have fun making this quilt and using it!
