Star Wars Jean Rag Quilt

Remember that pile of jeans? Here is the second quilt to come from all those jeans. This is the Star Wars Jean Rag Quilt. I had plans for doing plain red flannel backing with red bandannas for the star cutouts but when I saw the Star Wars and Millennium Falcon/X-Wing Fighter flannel fabrics I had to change my original idea. It was going to be perfect for a gift since the new Star Wars Force Awakens movie was coming out last month.
This was a fairly easy quilt to put together. Clipping the edges is the most time consuming portion of finishing the quilt. After clipping I tossed the quilt in the wash to achieve the ragged look. I had to stop the wash a few times to strain out the lint. This is important so that the lint doesn't get clogged in your pipes. Below are pictures of some of the details.
