Default African Kanga

My niece has returned from a Mission trip to Tanzania. She has asked me to make her Kanga (wrap) into a quilt. This is the information I have about the fabric from the salvage.
21st CENTRUY TEXTILE LTD. (POLYTEX) MONOGORA, MALIYA ASANTE, TANZANIA D.No.2817

I have her permission to cut it up. I really hope someone here can help me. Here are my questions.
How can I determine the fiber content? or is that improtant?
I want to maintain an African design. American patchwork does not seem right. Does anyone have an idea for a pattern?
Is there a color you would add?
Thanks so much for your help. I will try to post a picture.
