O Great LiveJournal Brain!

I am looking for something productive to do with a pile (probably about 10 pairs) of jeans that are too trashed to donate to the Goodwill.  They have holes either in the back pockets or in the knees (or both).  I'd like to turn them into something useful, or pass them off to someone who can/will (in which instance I will probably try to do so locally).  (I'm already planning to save one or two to make dresses for TRex.)

I have a wonderfully comfortable quilt made of Blue Jean Squares, using different fade levels to create patterns. My sisters and I each received one from our Grandma Ruth, and we even got to choose the pattern of the backing fabric (all are red: mine's plaid, one sister has paisley, and one has little white stars).

I don't know if there are any quilting societies in your area, or churches that sew quilts to donate.

This is exactly what I hope someone will do if I give them away, because I don't quilt.
