Home Dec fabrics typically do not hold the ink/dye as well ( they fade in the wash faster) when washed , thats why even though they are labeled 100 percent cotton they put a dry clean only label on the fabric, as well as for shrinkage... since they are not pre-shrunk.
I have used Home Dec fabrics in quilting when I know its an item that will not be washed very much.
If you like it and the potential for quicker fading in the wash is not an issue ... go for it ... it really is a bargain!
