Travelinggramma, the way you are w/ black I am w/ white and wow fabric. I am going to have to go out and get some for this swap. I do not think I have ever sewn and wow fabric into a quilt.
The swaps have me sewing w/ quilter's cotton fabric now to, at least for the swaps. For myself I sew with all kinds of fabric.
Right now I am making a pieced curtain out of upholstery fabric, if I ever get that bright idea again I hope someone stops me, 6 layers of upholstery weight fabric isn't very fun! But I know no one will have my curtain! lol
