I've seen different ways of doing this, but I like this method of sewing the circles in a line first, then adding the batting & fabric squares. I see most are stating to maybe not use the batting to not add extra weight. Either way, great method. This would make a great rug!
I’ve been working, not for years now but a quilt similar with black flannel. Just the square of batting is enough to make me reconsider dragging it out and starting again. But! I am going to do that denim. I can only imagine how heavy and warm that’ll be in winter.
I made this exact quilt and plan to make another one soon. I sew the batting and fabric square onto the circles first with two stitch lines going diagonal. Seems to be easier to see and feel how to sew the circles together. Love this style of quilt! Thanks for sharing.
It would seem like it, wouldn't it? And the way you do it is more of a Quilt as you go. I think I'd use a duck weight instead of denim, though. I can imagine the denim would be pretty darn heavy. I made a pad cover for our basset hound, and that was heavy enough!!
@@wendywilson1736 Instead of two denim circles use one denim and one of either flannel or quilting cotton. When using denim you can eliminate the batting as the quilt will be plenty warm enough without it. I make all my denim rag quilts this way - denim + flannel no batting
@kelceyoneill69 Great tip! I bought a package of precut batting squares years ago to do this with & haven't yet. I will use them with 2 layers of regular fabric instead 😊
Now that is clever!!!! I actually have a box of cut up jeans I saved for the longest time for a quilt and this is what I am going to make with them. THANK YOU!
Extraordinary!! Very unique solution to making a difficult design in an easy manner!! Really enjoyed your demonstration technique !!Thank you for this great video!!😁👍👍
I use this all the time, I’m currently making 2 quilts. Just an observation, You don’t really need the cardboard as the notches in the circle are for marking the inside of the denim circle. It makes a perfect 5 inch square and when sewing the circles together, everything matches up so nicely.
I'm also making one and teaching a friend. I'm not using the batting because I figure it will be heavy enough. I'm also sewing it into a 4 square and using zigzag to sew the patches in.
did you do this on a regular sewing machine and how many long strips di you join together before you sewed the zigzag line to fasten down the flaps. Nice job
johna wrzosek, when you sew your circles together, you match them up right sides together, sew along the line and when you open them up, where your stitch line is, you fold them over onto the wrong side of the circles. That is what makes the “window” for your fabric inside the circle. You just keep doing the until you have your desired length. You continue doing this until you have as many strips as you want and then sew the strips together. If you use the marks on the circle template, when cutting out your circles everything will match up beautifully. Once the entire quilt is sewn together, you start sewing the flaps down. I prefer to start at the top and sew a figure 8 pattern al the way down. I go all the way across the quilt and then I go back to where I started and sew the opposite side of the circle, it that makes sense. To help keep everything down in the center of the circle, I use a light basting spray and iron it down be for I start sewing. I hope this answers any questions you might have.
THANK YOU FOR THE DETAILED VIDEO, WHEN OLD, SOME MEMORY FADING, THIS BROUGHT ALL THINGS TO LIGHT AGAIN, TY AGAIN.

I’ve watched many denim cathedral window vids but yours I loved. No talking on & on. Just music & step by step how how did it. Thanx.

Great way to cut down on denim going into landfills.
Uauuuu arrasou adorei esse modelo de tapete parabéns é maravilhoso seu trabalho 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I really liked this quilt so I made one for one of my grandsons. It took a while. It's not perfect but it looked pretty good for a near beginner
Now that is clever!!!! I actually have a box of cut up jeans I saved for the longest time for a quilt and this is what I am going to make with them. THANK YOU!
Thank you for the excellent video tutorial. It’s beautiful 🤩
Wow, this is exactly the quilt I want to make. Thank you for the great tutorial.
This is a great idea for a sofa cover, it barely shifts when sitting on it. I also added arm covers, looks so great
Thank you?

Love I started mine about 5 yrs ago I need to find it and finish it 😊

This is beautiful. I so wanna try it. Thanks for sharing 👍🏼
I absolutely love this

Thank you, for your sharing it looks cool.
Excellent video! I saw this pattern in a blog years ago, but it makes much more sense in this video! 😍
I've been saving old jeans for some kind of project. I think I have found it now!
Very nice. Good instructions. Thanks
Gorgeous I really love this quilt!
Wow very nice
Nice work. Need a project for 7"x1-1/2" WASTE fabric clipped off the corner of every single block. Thanks.
Maravilhosa vou fazer também
Parabéns belo trabalho 😘😘😘
Thank you
That is beautiful!
Thank you
Fantastic quilt. I enjoyed watching the process!
Thank you so much! :)
Beautiful quilt
did you do this on a regular sewing machine and how many long strips di you join together before you sewed the zigzag line to fasten down the flaps. Nice job
That looks so beautiful ! How many jeans do you need for one blanket ? Good job 👏 👏👍👍 ! Sorry for my bad English .Greetings from Belgium 😘
I will make this.
Did you use zigzag to enclose colored fabric with the denim flaps?
No, did not.
Le quedó hermoso, por favor no entendí el cuadro que se marca y la tela estampada don diferentes medidas? Le agradecería que me dé en cm.
In the beginning you say to sew 2 circles together, is that right, or there is one layer of denim
I saw one layer of denim.
Would be more accurate to say Joining two circles together on one edge with a straight seam. It becomes clear as you watch the entire video. :-)
I understood it all except towards the end - says to cut or snip. What do you cut at this point?
Snip the denim edges all around to help create a frayed edge when its washed. Snip every 8mm or so to 1-2mm of the sewed line.
Snip the denim edges all around to help create a frayed edge when its washed. Snip every 8mm or so to 1-2mm of the sewed line.
how did you finish the edges?
I folded it over and sewed it.
Just folder over the ends, like you did while sewing the Piece together.
How many denim pants are required for this project.
How many circles
I’m in the process of making this in king size. I’ve cut 450 pieces of each. It will be 22 across & 20 down.
thank you for your reply, but why are you sewing two together. One on top of the other, sew all the way around???
the first time I saw circle together and add square layer of denim.
johna wrzosek, when you sew your circles together, you match them up right sides together, sew along the line and when you open them up, where your stitch line is, you fold them over onto the wrong side of the circles.

Thank you your info makes sense
Great video but I prefer talkies
Thank you
Muito linda 😍 parabéns 👏👏👏
