Jean Quilt Top Asterisk Block

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Craftsy Block of the Month 2012 »

Instructions

In this quilt top I used around 10 pair or blue jeans and 3 white/Tan jeans. Alternated the white block with darkest jean strips and the dark blue blocks with White strips. When sewing solid block together I purposely did not match up the blues and whites, I wanted the colors to mingle. I tried to get many different colors of blue/white on one block as possible.

Difficulty:

Category: Quilting

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Whimsical, Cute


Materials

Old Jeans repurposed for quilt top, Cotton Flannel for the bottom and quilt batting. Hand tied with yarn.

What was your inspiration?

I have a lot of jeans to work with. When the block of the month came around I just fell in love with the asterisks block. So here is my jean version.

What are you most proud of?

I knew it was going to be really cute but it turned out to be more beautiful then what I had imagined.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't forget to cut the block the right way, I made a mistake while cutting this out and my lines are not matching up the way the should... oops

Cut in half _ then the other half_ last cut X

Absolutely gorgeous. Your color scheme is awesome! I too am making a quilt with the asterick block and I will post pics when I am done. Good job, I got several ideas on other quilts just because you posted your quilt. Thank you, Carmen

Thanks Carmen, I can't take all the credit on this one... I did see something similar to this on pinterest and thought it would make a wonderful jean quilt. Ideas come from many inspiring places. I cant wait to see your quilts!

I wondered how a quilt would look using only the asterick block - really wonderful. I love your idea of using old jeans.
