Some 100% cottons have that shine because they are made with a certain type of process. I call those fabrics "polished cottons", but many people will refer to them as "chintz".

Thay can still be 100% cotton, so I also recommend the burn test.

Best of luck to you. If you need some help using up those materials, I'll bet you will find a lot of us here who would be willing tocome over and help you out!
