I like to use cotton for my quilts. I like the feel of it and I like the crinkly look it gets after washing, and I also like the way that it gets softer and softer each time it is washed. That being said, however, I have no problem using poly blends for wall hangings, table toppers, handbags, decorative pillows, etc. The way the price of fabric is going, I don't think I can afford to dismiss using fabrics ther than cotton. I'd rather use what I have and what I can afford, than to not be able to create.
