I have always loved metallic fabrics. I do not consider glittered fabrics metallic. IMHO they are a totally different animal. I have them separated in my stash so I can find them with ease. When I do use them in a quilt they are for adults and not for children's use. I have a number that are holiday prints and I use them to make gift bags. The bag itself is part of the gift. I have one person in my life that would love to just get the bags and nothing else. I also find I use them in wall hanging more than other quilts. I don't see as many anymore that that fall into my preferences so I haven't bought any in a couple years. I have enough to keep me going for a very long time. At one time I found myself buying nothing else. (now on moratorium not buying if I can help it.).
