A church gave me yards and yards and still more yards of this stuff. I have taken the pastels and some of the darker and matched them together in a split rail fence quilt. I always sandwhiched the white in between two other colors, put the blocks into a quilt top, added the batting and backing (polyester knit) and embroidered designs on it with the embroidery machine. If you choose coordinating colors the polyester makes a prettier quilt than the 100 percent cotton quilts. I think they are prettier because polyester has a shine to the fabric. I give them to children at a homeless shelter. They love them. If I could figure out how to post a picture I would show you what can be done with polyester knit. It looks to me like you don't have enough though. I have 4 racks of 4 shelves each of the polyester knit.
