quilting with old denim jean fabric?

i have been collecting old jeans for some time and i want to use them to make a quilt using the "lone star" or "star of Bethlehem" pattern. i also need some directions. i have quilted before, but only with square blocks. i'm sure this will be a different animal and i sure could use any help here. will be piecing by machine. quilting by machine/by hand/sending out to be quilted by someone with a long arm machine.

thanks for your efforts and replies

    There is no problem making quilts with denim, but there may be a problem with the patterns you have selected...remember how heavy denim is...it is not going to be suitable for the fine points you are planning. Plan that all seams will be bulky...it may be best to plan a block quilt from this fabric, perhaps a log cabin...but I do not think you will be happy with a star type quilt. Good luck

    you're able to make some aprons style the the front and back. purely trim them in extensive lace. you may paint stuff on them. Like on the back component of the pants say, back backyard BBQ. Quilts. decrease backside legs off and use the precise pants area for a handbag. you may handles for purses at Wal-Mart. The legs of the pants may well be utilized to make around roll pillows.
