I also agree - yes yes yes! ;) People get really hung up on buying great fabric, and of course that helps your quilt last longer. But just think of all the quilts made from feedsacks and scraps that are still intact today. I think you'll be just fine. As others have said, any quilt is going to wear with use, and even quilts made of the finest materials will fall apart after they've been washed a hundred times.
