Ok here is a question for all of you. In deconstructing bed skirts for fabrics to add to my stash, I am finding a bonus is that many have a high quality of cotton for the foundation. This is usually white, or offwhite. However, some come with a foundation of this washable material called olefin. I looked it up and it is considered a fabric, and can be used in making clothing and other items.
I know it would serve as good foundation fabric, but I don't really have a need for that. My question is: Would this lightweight strong material be good to use as the batting in a light quilt? We do not like heavy quilts, especially throw size ones, and it seems to me this might be just what I need.
Opinions?
