I have used fabrics like this in quilts and they came out great. Some of these fabrics are a little stiffer and heavier than regular quilting cotton but I have mixed them up and used both in several quilts. I think having some different textures makes them interesting. I do wash all the home/drapery fabrics first however just to be sure they will launder ok as well as to remove the extra sizing that seems to be in those fabrics. I think they will come out great for you!
