How refreshing to see that there are quite a few others who use --and like!--poly/cotton blends. I like the sheen and the durability of them. They are more color-fast and easy care, too. Perhaps the thing to watch for is how much poly is in the piece so it isn't "slick". Those seem to pill worse. If you utilize shirts in scrappy, almost all of those are blends and they don't pill. To the one who commented on the Gingham Goose patterns--love those! I have a collection of my own plus my mother's that she used to make quilts for my children when they were little. Darling designs! My son had the one that is a train and it is well worn. He loved it to pieces--literally!
