The funny thing is that looking back, I KNOW it wasn't all cotton! At the time (1989 and self-taught) I had no idea what I was doing, so I went to the local House of Fabrics (anybody remember them?) and just bought fabrics that looked good together. I remember I had rayons, polys, and cottons in the mixture.
