Not all jean quilts have the ragged seams. And as far as the weight - where do you live? What temperature do you keep your house at night in the winter? What may seem too heavy in the south with a high house temperature at night may be just a heavenly weight in a colder climate where you prefer to keep a colder house temperature at night and sleep bundled up under quilts and blankets. Also, usually it is just women who think a quilt gets too heavy. Men seem strong enough to never notice the weight of their quilts or blankets.
