The wear like iron cloth, wash up beautifully and snuggle comfortably.....
I have an old directions where the checked poly/cotton was made with just two layers of fabri with batting, edge finished in prairie points, and then turned and tied. It's almost a one day quilt and oh so comfortable and usable
I even published one in a magazine many years ago

I made many baby quilts in the 80's with gingham. As long as you are not mixing, I don't see any problem...some of those quilts are still around. I had to do a bit of repair work on one that was my niece's. She wanted it fixed when she was pregnant with her son. Another niece has her teddy quilt saved for when she has kids.
