Taria suggested staggering the seams for denim jeans quilts, which sounds to me like an excellent idea. That would eliminate bulky seams. My question is, do you all iron your seams to one side or open? I know that ironing them to one side provides more stability to the seam. But this is denim we're talking about and it's thick and bulky. Granted that might be all the more reason to iron the seam to one side. But what do you all opt for? Iron the seam open and have less bulk or iron the seam to one side and deal with the bulk? I'm hoping to make a denim jeans quilt this winter so I'm trying to learn all I can to make it easier.
