I have nothing against poly mix except when combined with cotton which is not pre washed your quilt WILL be wonky. Poly mix does not shrink, and if it does it is very little compared to cotton. Also, after many years of using and washing quilts, poly mix will wear better. The color will not fade but the cotton pieces will. IMHO making quilts from all poly mix is fine, such as symphony broadcloth. In crazy quilts also anything goes. But, from my own experience mixing cotton and poly mix led to weird looking quilts. I have to underline here that I am not a pre washer, so it is my own fault for ending with a wonky quilt.
