Crazy quilts of old were a mis-mash of different fabrics.
What I'd do, would be to wash the fabrics prior to using them with the method you'd most likely wash the completed quilt. Check for shrinking. Check for wrinkling. And of course if something just plain falls apart, you won't be using that fabric.
Remember----------the quilt is your creation----------do what suits you, after some minor investigating.
