It would really be hard to machine quilt this.
If you are going to tie -- you might try embroidery floss or very small gauge yarn to make it easier to go through the denim. Or, what about using special needles, like ones for leather? that would withstand all those layers of denim? I'm not an experience machine quilter, but those are my ideas.
