I don't know why, but denim quilts are my favorites...have made several. Sometimes I fray them, sometimes I sew them down to make a "sashing". I also use cotton plaid shirts in my denim quilts a lot. They seem to be liked by both guys and gals. No batting needed as their weight alone is enough. Excellent for car, truck, dog, baby, beach, camping, picnics.....and the list goes on.
