I'm just about finished with a jeans rag quilt. I'm not sure what to do about the outside edge. I used 6 1/2" squares and have a flannel backing. I have double stitched all the seams. I don't want the weight to pull them apart. Will just double stitching and ragging the outside edge hold over time? I think anything else like using the flannel for binding would be too heavy and thick to sew. Maybe make the edge too stiff too. What do you do?

I also sew a 1" seam line around the quilt twice. Then I clip the edges and wash it so it rags beautiful. Everyone in my family has several in their houses. They all land in the TV room and everyone can snuggle on the couch while dad watches football. The little ones always fall asleep with a ragged edge in their hands. it seems to soothe them some how.
