Cotton or Cotton Sateen?
I am planning a new wholecloth quilt (the center design is attached as a picture). I plan it to be about 50" square, which means I need to buy wider fabric.
Fabric.com has wide black cotton broadcloth, but also has a cotton sateen for a reasonable price.
I've heard that sateen can be really pretty, and based on the price, I wonder if the broadcloth won't be that nice. I plan to spend 100+ hours quilting this, so I'd like it to turn out nice
Does anyone have suggestions on which fabric might be better? Any experience with quilting cotton sateen? I'm kind of too lazy to order swatches (the fact that I did a mock up of the design before launching into the big one is really a huge step for me), so I'll just go for it.
