Default Narrow-minded for material selection for quilt making

I know a couple that works with a church group that make quilts - they made 99 of them last winter.

I've seen some of the quilts 'in person' and photos of the last ones.

They are lovely - they are well made, the fabric selections are pleasing. They are tied.
The husband and wife make up kits to distribute to the other members of the group. He does the cutting - He stated his accuracy is to within 1/64th of an inch - and it makes the pieces go together ever so much better.

They use just about anything that is washable and not slippery.

So after seeing what they use - and it turns out lovely - I've started to think that I am very narrow-minded in what I think is "acceptable"
