How many of you keep it to cotton only? thread, fabric, batt

I don't always piece or quilt with 100% cotton. Ideally, I would like to piece with cotton thread, but when it comes to quilting, you get limited if you stay with cotton.

My tops are always 100% cotton, back 100% cotton or sometimes fleece or Minky. As for batting, I'll try anything as long as it quality. Although, my middle in first first quilt was a Star Wars nylon blanket.... but we won' t do there.

My last quilt I pieced with Deco Bob by Wonderfil, super thin 80wt thread and just one bobbin for the entire top. It is so thin that you need to be careful of your seam allowance. I can't wait to piece with it again.
