Thanks, Retta. I've found some lightweight denim, so I think I'm going to use that as well. Thanks for the advice.
I see you're from Utah. Our granddaughter lives in Lehi, so we come to Utah occasionally. We're LDS and BYU graduates, so we like to "find our roots." I've never done any shopping for fabric, etc. there for quilts because Lehi is a stopover to touch base with our granddaughter and then head on to Arizona and California to meet other family members. Ah well...someday. Thanks again.
