Name the Blue Jeans Quilt


I cut up a couple of blue jeans and I cut the legs into strips. I sewed and sewed. Then I put the quilt on the bed and climbed up on a chair--rather dangerous, but I wanted to get a good photo. This thing is kind of getting away from me. When I started out, I had no idea how big I was going to make it--it simply insisted upon growing and growing. Because if I added a piece here, well then a piece needed to be added there, and so on. I'm starting to feel like Dr. Frankenstein or something. This photo is taken today and the size is 48 by 64 inches. I think I will be adding a simple border of some kind--probably some solid color?

I would appreciate any comments on how you would categorize or name this denim and fabric quilt. It's not a contest--I won't be sending out any fat quarters or anything like that.

It's a fun quilt and resembles a board game.

I'm liking this a lot -- looks like a house with roads and such in a community, and the baskets give it a homey feel. Don't know what to call it though!

This looks great! It does look like a little community or a board game. I'm terrible with naming quilts - sorry. But I really like this quilt.
