Make an Awesome Water-Resistant Picnic Blanket From Old Jeans

Pull the right sides of the quilt out through the opening until the entire quilt is now right side out. To close up the seam, I topstitched 1/8″ from the outside all around the picnic blanket. Then I topstitched 1/8″ from the seam on each row to hold everything in place.

And now I have the perfect picnic blanket for spring. We love that it is water-resistant and super durable. We also use the pockets from the jeans to hold our napkins or empty wrappers so they don’t blow away.
