I don't mind using a blend that appears to be cotton in a quilt if the color is what I want. I haven't used much in any quilt, so I don't worry. The star fabric in my grandson's QOV was a blend, but I liked the print. I didn't buy it. Someone here included it my package when I purchased fabric from her. Do I purchase a blend - no, but, again, I love color so I might for that reason.
