I've made a rag quilt with flannel for the top and bottom and a layer of batting between. I cut 7 inch blocks, seamed so the raw edges were on top with a 1/2 inch allowance. Then cut the raggedy edges. That is the hardest part I think because it makes your hands sore. Don't try to do too much cutting at one time. Mine is different shades of browns, creams, beiges in plaids and stripes. Very country and homey looking. The more it is washed the nicer the fringe gets and the softer it becomes. It gets constant use. Mine is the size of a throw but with the amount of jeans you have it sounds as if yours will be bed size. Good luck with it and and don't stress your arm and booby muscles.
