There is a blog (http://www.inventivedenim.com/). The blogger's name is Heather and she has a lot of info on sewing with denim. In fact, she has a link to her friend's site that has a denim quilt tute: http://www.pieceandquilt.com/2010/01...-tutorial.html.
I am going to bookmark it myself.

Thank you all so much for your replies and links! So much knowledge here I love it. I just started cutting my circles this weekend... ended up being 6-1/4"... now I can't decide what size for the "window" I am bouncing between 4-1/2" and 4-1/4".. not much difference I know. It appears when I cut my circles I wasn't perfect.. they very close but maybe 1/16" on the plus side and 1/16" on the short side. I have a template for 4-1/2" so that would be easier, when I go to 4-1/4" I worry about getting the "window" material centered correctly......maybe I am just being to particular and 1/4" won't make a difference either way. Any thoughts?

I'm working on one now and am skipping the batting. I'm using 8.5" circles with 6" squares. And may end up using a different colour of Kona for each square, I'm not 100% sure yet. It might be a good time to use scraps instead of stash.
I think some may say I cheated. I used a die cutter (AccuQuilt Studio) to cut out the circles. I don't think I would stick with the project if I had to cut all those squares by hand. I'm using 112 circles. Although, I did notice that they had a rag circle die for the AccuQuilt GO now too, that is designed for this quilt project. But I already had the 8.5" circle die.

And no, that's not cheating!! If that was the case, then rotary cutters are cheating too!!
