    The red calico will be great with the denim. Can't wait to see your finished quilt.

    I think the red calico will be perfect.

    Love the idea of red but like you am concerned about the difference in fabric weight. Have you considered twill? If you use an interfacing or stabilizer for the denim, I would use a medium weight fusible.

    Sorry to hear your machine has been in the shop so long - it would probably kill me!

    Yep, go for red. When doing my GS quilt I found a red with a pattern like a cowboy bandana. Might look good there if it wouldn't be too busy.

    Thank you all for your advice. The stabilizer worked wonderfully. I have completed 4 blocks... I'm liking it. Thank you all
