It is all denim fabrics even the print fabric. The black is Kona cotton. If you want to use a reg. fabric I would put iron on interfacing on the back to help it last longer. I used all color of denim I have from real light blue. stonewash, med/dark blue, black. you can use whatever you have it will look good, the black pulls it together.

Thank for you nice comments everyone.

Thank you.

I like your design. A few questions - (1) How big is it? (2) What batting and backing did you use? and (3) Is your quilt really heavy?

Segues I will saving my old jeans too now. Beautiful job.

Kay size is 50"x 67" 2) I used black 80/30 Hobbes Levi backing 3) yes it is heavy. Next time I'll use a lighter Levi fabric for backing and I think I will use a Flannel or lighter batting. If I use flannel I will wash the flannel 2 or 3 time before I use it for a batting. If you need more info. PM me.
