  • Greetings All! In this video I make a quilt out of Jeans from the thrift store and then I embellish it with bias tape squigglies. I named this quilt "February, Get Ink" after the poem "February" by Boris Pasternak:

    You crack me up! Confidence is the name of the game. Also, you're not afraid to be creative and you don't sweat the details. You show how to make bias binding, even though you don't know how to use the tool. Hold the little do-hickey handle as you pull it away from the iron. You're less likely to burn yourself that way.

    Denim also makes fun rag-style quilts where the seams are out. I like to use up old torn towels and bits of flannel as the batting. You can mix traditional and rag-style elements. Like when I saw your columns, I thought that would be a great place to put a rag style seam! Subtly create that visual column.

    I feel it has some Boro inspired aspects to it, with the indigo colors from the denim. The bias tape adds the twist to modern. Nicely done. I'm curious about your quilting journey and how you got started. I'm trying to self teach atm.

    Love the finish!!!! I cut oodles of denim squares this summer but have hesitated on process, so help please! Appears you used .5 seam allowance and pressed open, thanks for that. Did you use denim, upholstery or other thread? Already bought jeans needles in 16 and 18 so I could experiment. Any pointers are appreciated!

I proposed we do a block-swap with your cyan-a-whatever blocks you did because it was stinkin’ amazing! Anyway, Love love love this one. Especially loved the texture/gradient-look of the different denims. Beginning to end, how long did this one take?
