Okay, I've completed my denim D9P top, and ready to finish this baby! The only problem I have is making a decision on the backing. I think I want to use muslin, but don't know which thickness would work best w/denim.
So, what muslin weight would you suggest? I also plan on using a thin warm & natural batting.
Any advice or suggestions are appreciated.

it is going to weight a ton! LOL
my friend made me one, a raggedy denim and put some beautiful flannel on the back. looked like hounds tooth fabric..
she also used the warm and natural.
they make the roc-lon in wide widths at Joanns ..i think that would work just fine.

Your quilt will be heavy and maybe you don't even need batting. Did you consider just adding flannel or fleece and skipping the batting? I used a plaid flannel (a fairly tight weave with little stretch) and just tied it. Batting just wasn't needed. I'm sure the men in your life will love this quilt.
