I think the denim from jeans has a lot more character than the new stuff. More and more they jeans have spandex in them so finding the colored stuff that is 100% cotton is a little harder than it used to be. I made my SIL a quilt of all colors of purple denim and have done several red, white and blue with applique stars. Does take awhile to cut them apart.
oh flannel...I forgot about the flannel..I do not make flannel quilts, so I skip the shirts, but I buy flannel sheets to use as a light weight batting!
