Flannel and Denim Together?
#2
It would depend on the weight of the denim (some is heavier than others) and the tightness of the the weave of the flannel (some is more threads per inch than others).
It is do-able, but if there is a huge difference in the weight of the two then I would not attempt it. I think eventually the denim would pull the threads of the flannel and the quilt will begin to fall apart.
Just my opinion :)

Mrs. Mel,
I did a rag quilt using flannel and denim for my middle son. HE loves it. It was all of his dad's old jeans on one side and warm cuddly flannel on the other. HE can use it as a Blanket on the sofa or throw it on the ground. It's his favorite

I've got one planned for using as a beach-quilt. Throw down the denim side and sit on the flannel side for evening bonfires.
I have a friend who made one alternating flannel blocks with denim blocks and it was awesome. It was, however, a gift for a college kid, not rambunctious little kids, so it won't get as rough as useage.

Thanks all. I thought about a rag quilt. It's for my teenage son and quilts are not 'cool'. I'm afraid he won't like the 'frills' on a rag quilt. But I know he'll like the flannel.
Any body out there have teenage sons they would like to 'fast-forward' by a few years?? :roll:

I know that a denim on one side and flannel on the other is nice and warm...
I am toying with an Idea using alternating strips or blocks of flannel and denim front and back.
Not sure if I want to do raggedy seams or not... I am concerned that these rag quilts will end up fraying too much.
