May I use it for my quilt?

Oh certainly, feel free to use this. The denim is actually lightweight...not a true denim but it looks like denim. The only thing I don't like about it is that it stretches a bit and so I'm having to be very careful not to get too much distortion as I'm working with it. I would do that part over, but since I'm this far along I'm going to stay with it. I think it will be manageable. I'm so grateful for the positive feedback...this is helping me to go forward with the project! Thank you!

It's a very masculine quilt and that's hard to do sometimes. How does your son like it??? I really think it's great and you did a good piecing job,
Congrats, Kutnso

It is a gorgeous looking quilt; definitely not busy and the colours....ummmm....Belissimo! Love the blue denim sashing! Never would have thought to use denim!:thumbup: Would you mind if I use your idea?

Go for it! I'm so glad you and so many others like this! It's giving me the confidence to continue! Thank you!

We always second guess our choices - at least I do!! I think this quilt is perfect for a young fellow - keep going - it's going to be terrific!!

I agree! Please don't tear up this quilt. It's beautiful!! :thumbup: I love scrap quilts and you have done a fantastic job.
