I judge a fabric by how it 'feels' to me....rarely do I look at the name on the bolt. Thin coarse fabric is just that, no matter what name it sports. The only only time I would/buy or use it would be as an accent somewhere, where I had no choise. If I had looked and looked and looked and this was the best I could do....then ok. A childs quilt will be loved to death and fall apart, no matter what the fabric. A Quilt of Valor will last a life time and then some, no matter the fabric.....I buy and use the best I can afford at the time and I do first try to use my stash at all cost and it is currently bigger than I am.....
