I need to use a fabric that looks like chrome-something shiny- that can be used in a quilt and washed. What kind of fabric would I look for? Thanks for your help.

get some silver or gray satin and wash and dry it before cutting.

Reflector fabric that they put on clothes so you glow in the dark when out walking at night? :)

Retro-reflective
Don't know if I spelled that right.

I'd probably go for a silvery grey cotton depending on the fabric content for the balance of your quilt.
