upholstery fabric for quilts?
I was given several boxes of fabric today and there is a lot of upholstery fabric and old clothing fabric in the boxes. Most of the pieces are yards long, not just trimmings. The upholstery fabric is like a heavy cotton type but I did notice that some of them said dry cleaning recommended. So, is it at all possible to use this fabric for quilt tops? The clothing fabric is rather dated but not bad looking, still not something I would want to sew into a quilt for sure, slippery stuff. I will try and get some pics to post. I did find a few pieces that I will keep. There were several linen pieces but a lot of strange colors, not sure what to do w/those either.
