Of course that would give it a more casual look....just an idea.

I thought about doing the frayed edges but I ended up not wanting to go for that look and decided just to make a standard patchwork quilt. :) Which reminds me I have to work a little extra tonight since I didn't get to work on the quilt yesterday since I was at the hospital all day and I was too mentally exuasted anyways to work on it.

By the way, how should finish the quilt (not the binding part, but when you sandwich the quilt together...can't think of what that particular step is called). I've only made one complete quilt and that one was tied and I don't think tieing it would be the best way for a denim quilt...plus, that'd be a lot of ties for a 60x80 quilt...
