Do what feels right to your sense of style and budget.
i agree with you. I don't think that my great-grandmother and grandmother thought about whether the quilts would last 40+ years when they made their quilts out of our outgrown clothing!! And I'm still using them and it's 40+ years later. If you like a fabric and the feel of it is good, go for it!!
