So my question why can't poly cot blend be used in quilts? I wouldn't mix but would use all poly blend. Corse flannel or minky on back would be nice... Really could use guidance. Thanks in advance.
I've used poly cotton in the past, mixed with all cotton. It was the colour or depicted exactly what I needed. No trouble, quilts now 20+ years old, washed many times.
I don't any longer - but that's because I've used what I had up. Only buy cotton now. If someone gave me some and I liked it, I'd use it.
