Default batting or not? If yes to batting what kind?

I am going to make one of these quilts with my sons' old jeans. http://www.equilters.com/library/jea...gallbaros.html Has anyone made one of these quilts? I am wondering about batting. I am thinking about batting for in the "window" between the cotton cloth and the jean backing. Where the jeans will be folded over there will be 2 layers of jeans, which will be heavy (which I want) and so I was thinking in the "window" where it will be 1 layer of cotton and 1 layer of jeans it won't be quite as heavy... and I wondering if batting would build that spot up a bit and make it look nice. BUT what type of batting? I don't want to get too thick and heavy. Please let me know your thoughts Thank you
