If you can find good quality broadcloth, it can be used in quilting. Keep these factors in mind: best to use either all broadcloth or all cotton in a top... It will not fade or get soft... be careful with the iron. That said, I have used it for children's every day quilts and they really take the wear and tear. They also wash well and don't wrinkle as much as cotton. My niece is using her baby quilt for her son for a play quilt. It's 25 years old and still going strong.
