I used that fabric with the pink background for DGDs attic windows quilt. There is also a coordinating stripe that I used for the border. It was not at all difficult to work with and is holding up nicely to regular washing. You will have sparkly hands, face, and everything else while working with it, and more of the sparkles will come off as it ages, but it holds its shape well and will look just as nice after many washings.
It is beautiful with your dresdens. Go for it.
