This quilt has stretch denim in it -- the edges won't fray but that is ok by me.
That is the kind of quilt I made with regular denim and cotton inside. Was yours really heavy? To put mine together I cut 2 circles and sewed them together, so I had the extra cotton material on the inside, which if you used just a square of cotton the inside yours would be a little lighter, but not much. When I tried to take a nap under it, it was so heavy that I felt like that lady in the commercial, "Help, I've fallen and I can get up." Additionally, the quilt isn't very warm. I figured for all of the weight it should have been warmer than it is.
By the way, what is the name of this pattern?
As for using stretch denim, it should work just like regular denim; you just have to be sure that the material can take a hot iron, at least as hot as you need for cotton. So, don't give that denim away.
