Denim squares for quilt
I just can't seem to stay on track and finish one project, so I have been cutting up old jeans into 6" squares to make a denim quilt. I must have 40 pairs of jeans ...everyone has donated their old ones. I am thinking about putting the denim squares together with a fat seam so I can "rag" the edges. On the back side I want to put some fleece, quilt the two layers together, then bind. Has anyone done this? I know it will be heavy, but I want it super warm and durable for the hubby who is rather hard on normal quilts. Will regular cotton thread be ok, or do I need something heavier? Anything else I need to know about making a denim quilt?
