When I was about 22 yrs old I made my DD a quilt out of pillow ticking. I didn't know that when it was washed all the cute little flowers and stripes would come off. My DD loved that quilt. I can't say it was poorly made, but I wasn't proud of it. So after 10 yrs or so I throw it away. DD came home from school and instantly knew it was gone. I told her it was in the bumpster, knowing she wouldn't go get it, being the clean freak she was. Boy was I wrong, she was in that bumpster digging and throwing trash around till she found it. So after washing it a couple times, I gave in and never tried to get rid of it. She still has it in her cedar chest with a note all about the quilt, including it's time in the bumpster. So what is the strangest fabric you have used?
