I haven't sewn with this fabric but, I do have dish towels made of it. The waffle fabric shrinks a lot and ripples along the sewn edge. I think it would be wonderful in a quilt but, would suggest not washing first and using a backing that also shrinks like flannel. I think it would be bumpy to quilt after washing which is why I suggested not washing first. I am only going by what my washed dishtowels look like.
