This is a start to finish video. As I worked on the quilt, I was working out the details of how to finish it. I had no pattern. It took me less than a day to make this. Here are the details of what worked for me.

1. The polar fleece measures 63 inches x 2.5 yards. Measure yours to make it work for you.
2. Because I has a ruler 6.5 inches wide and it worked perfectly with the 2.5 yards (90 inches), I went with that measurement.
3. Allowing for 1/4 inch seams, the finished size of the 6.5 wide block would be 6".
4. 90 inches tall ÷ 6 inches = 15 rows
5. The length of each block varies. I sewed them together to make 63".
6. 15 rows that are 63" across the quilt means a total of 79 feet of strips.
7. Each pair of jeans gave me approximately 8 to 9 feet of strips 6.5" wide.
