I have enjoyed reading and looking at everyone's denim quilts. Brought back some memories. When I was growing up many many moons ago, Mom would just piece a top - no backing or batting and this is what we used when we went to the river swimming, playing out in the yard, camping and wherever else we would think to drag it. Washed easy and if it got lost or ripped wasn't out anything. I do have one that she made in later years for my son and she serged it.
