Yep same here, that is one reason I don't post pics on here cause I use whatever comes my way.
Well, I am going to post a picture of my first quilt, a crazy quilt and if it offends those who use only the finest most expensive cottons...........oh well. Several of the fabrics used are blends. As a newbie I never even thought it would matter. My daughter who owns this quilt loves it so much that I am proud of it.
Actually, crazy quilts were made with satin, velvet , and lace! Yours is lovely! You should be proud!
