A lot of people asked about quilting with the denim. The denim adds weight, so it's a bit more physically strenuous to move around during quilting. Free-motion quilting through denim may require gripping and pulling the quilt around more aggressively than you're used to. I've never had any trouble with either of my home machines not wanting to quilt through it though.
You do want to make sure that you're using a sturdier needle for denim. I usually use 90/14 needles for quilting anyway, so I didn't make any adjustments here but, if you usually use something smaller, this would be a good project to try a larger needle.
If you don't think your machine is up to working with denim, or you just don't want to fuss with the heavier quilt, a picnic quilt like this would also be perfectly lovely finished with yarn ties!
