I've used bamboo in a quilt, mixed with cottons. It was nice to work with, but it did fray more than cotton, and it crinkled-- a lot-- after washing. The particular quilt I used it in was fine with the crinkles--but for anyone who is unhappy with that, it could be a big disappointment.
The fabric I used had more of a sheen than most cottons, and it had a very nice light, crisp texture. I'd use it again. It was priced very competatively w/ cottons of similar qualities.
