I love those dots! I have a neat chair I would love to recover in that fabric.....mind posting who makes it and where you bought it?? If you have that info. I have been working on a quilt top for about 3 years - its made of jeans - the back pockets are for the edges....I wanted something sturdy for picnics to keep in the car....

Sadly, I don't have the maker info; it was passed to me sans selvedges from a person who found it at a yard sale. That person asked me to make curtains from it, and said I could keep the leftovers.

Best of luck with your denim quilt. That will be sturdy, indeed.
