Quality of fabric,etc.
I came across a lady that did a great amount of quilting. She was under the impression that the only real quilt was 100% cotton and hand stitched. When I started quilting I made 7 flannel quilts for my kids for Christmas because I thought they were cuddly. What did I know about cotton or quality. Now I make quilts out of donated fabric and you can imagine the quality and type of material I get. After looking through the first batch of donated material I was really upset. That is until I thought of our forefathers and the type of quilts and fabrics used. I now make what I call "Textured Quilts" for children and seniors homes. Children, Seniors with Dementia and other like problems like to feel the different materials. Oh yes, I like cotton and make quilts out of 100% cotton, but, I no longer turn up my nose at other materials.
