Default Fire and Ice fabric?

Has anyone used the Fire and Ice fabric in quilts? I don't know who the manufacturer is .I bought a bunch a while ago and have only used some in bags. I thought it would look cute and add some sparkle to a quilt I am going to make. I was wondering how it would hold up to washings for a quilt; if it would lose the sparkleness. Any thoughts on this?

Is this Fabric Freedom's Fire and Ice line? http://www.fabricfreedom.co.uk/FireAndIce.html
I've been told that the metallic pigments do hold up well to washing, although I don't have much experience with them.

It appears that EESchenck Company distributes this fabric in the US. They also carry Maywood Fabrics.

It holds up very well. I purchased some about 6 years ago. Washed and used quilt. I did feel it was stiff to begin with. Prewashed to soften up.

Yes it is, But I bought mine from a company in the US. I just don't remember where. I want to use it in a quilt with batiks. It is to be a gift , so I won't see how it holds up.
