I have seen a lot of nice quilts that were made out of cottons and cotton/poly blends. Just make sure that you prewash everything when mixing fabric types. Some people believe in only using cottons, some happily mix all kinds of fabrics... Wall hangings that do not get washed often/or never, they use all kinds of fabrics...
Be creative with these wonderful gifts from your DB and most of all....
Have Fun!!! :wink: :D :D :D
