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.
I'm with you girl!! I used many different types of material in my tumbling blocks quilt. It looks fine. I quilt for a hobby and because I enjoy sewing. I don't plan on any quilt show in near or far future. Keep quilting and enjoy. I even think it is more fun to see what I can do with what I have or can pick up at a good price.
