I have made a few denim quilts. The are heavy. I made the mistake of using a thicker batting on the first and ended up only being able to tie the quilt is was so thick. They look great when you use lots of different variations of faded in the quilt. Tip - Use bigger pieces as the seam allowances of small pieces really adds to the weight. I used a 1/2 inch seam allowance as the weave/raveling can be an issue.
