I have made many denim quilts, and I use almost all of the parts except the zipper, the bottom hem, and waist band. I use all different size squares, and strips.. I love adding the pockets to the quilt especially if it is for a little boy.. I like using different shades of blue so things contrast.. I work with the pieces like they are a jig saw puzzle.. For the backing, I use flannel..
I just finished the top to one, but am unable to post on the board, but I can email you a picture.
