    I can see this being a great 'family' quilt, you know one where everyone sits on the couch cuddled up with a good movie on a cold night and warm & snuggly under this big 'ole quilt! Might make a few memories that way too!

    Flannel would be good, light weight and warm, as the denim should be heavy enough to keep your FAMILY warm.

    I love it, denim quilts are so unique and warm. There is something so cozy about denim. I’ve only recently heard about birthing quilts and that would work for your quilt. You could tie it. I like Laquita’s & Unique Creations’ ideas for you on how to use it. If you like camping it could be a camping quilt. Whatever you do with it, it will be a well loved quilt.

    Perfect for the beach, camping, kids playing in the yard. I think this is a great idea!
