How to Make a Denim I Spy Rag Quilt

This quilt is made from cutting out denim circles. I used a Corelle pasta bowl for my template.

The first step is to figure out what size bowl you are going to use.

My circles are 8.5" across which ended up being 5.75" square.

I laid the bowl on the denim and used a sharpie to mark the wrong side of the fabric (inside the jeans).

I then
marked HALF of the circles
in the stack with the square template.

I then attached the circles together. I attached one marked circle to an unmarked circle.

I pressed the circle flaps open with a hot iron.

I sewed the strips into two large pieces. I didn’t join the entire rag quilt because I didn’t want to struggle with pushing the entire quilt through my sewing machine when attaching the I spy fabric squares.

After the binding is done, it is time to cut into the seam allowances of the denim circles, which are now squares.
