Would love to see a picture of your denim quilt too! There is something so comfortable, pretty and it’s warm! No wonder it’s a family favorite.
This one will be a rag quilt (my first rag quilt.) I can’t believe there was a time I didn’t like rag quilts, love them now.
Can you patch it up with more denim or is it spread out all over? What if you sewed a patch(es) on? You could rag the edges maybe? Maybe not a good idea, too much time/work involved? Bet you’d get a lot of miles and many more years out of it. I read on a tutorial somewhere that the stitches should be smaller when sewing denim. The weight of the denim must pull harder on the stitches.
