Thank you for asking this question. Believe it or not, I was coming onto the board today to ask a very similar question. I have a bunch of nursing uniforms that are poly/cotton blend that are wearing out. I don't want to just throw them away, as that seems so wasteful, but I thought most quilters would die before putting that type of fabric in a quilt. So know that I know it won't totally ruin anything, I am ready to cut them up. Now, next question - what on earth do I do with them as they are all the same color??????? Virg
