you don't mention if your broadcloth is cotton or a blend- seem some are 'assuming' it's a blend. I use cotton broadcloth in quilting all the time. if it's a poly blend it would still be ok to use -- holds up well- great for kids quilts that may be dragged around- laundered a lot. around here most of the solids we find are broadcloth- they are 100% cotton and work great in quilting projects. my 'Connecticut quilts' I have pics here on the board of {white, appliqued} have mostly broadcloth solids.
