Thank you for this tip!

Thank you. The backing is just a patterned blue fabric that is 108" wide. The batting is traditional poly.

Thank you for your help! Not sure if I will make mine as nice as yours with all of the quilted hearts, but when the time comes.....I will probably recall just how nice yours looked with the hearts <smile>

This is super nice. We all know how much work this involves. Not easy.

Very nice, Wow I can't imagine how difficult putting the binding on must of been. I have only done rag quilts with denim. It sure looks nice.

Very nice and classy to boot. I made two denim quilts, and the first one was so heavy I didn't even add batting, since the front and back were both denim. The second one was a single layer "raggy" and it works really well for a throw down on the floor quilt for kids and pets, or a car quilt when traveling. Mine were not as pretty as yours, but they did the job.
