I bought a material stash from a person who was moving and wanted to get rid of it. I am in heaven sorting colors and fabrics. There is a combination of cottons, linens, knits and silks.

Can I mix the cotton and linen on a quilt of should I stick with like blends?

Also, has anyone ever made a quilt with silk scraps?

i've seen crazy quilts and others done in silks,,,, beautiful!!

Congratulations! Prewash/dry the fabric and mix and match as you like :D:D:D

Yes I have used silks. It came from men's ties that I disassembles. Silk can be a shifty devil, so I fused some lightweight interfacing for control. Cut and sew as normal. Treat your finished item as you would any silk. (Lucky you with the stash!)

how fun to play with all new fabrics!

I'm very glad to see you back Amma, have missed you.

I would prewash and probably stick with like fabric types.
