Would any of you ever use it in a quilt? Vintage so its cotton

I'm not really sure since it is a puckered fabric...but if I really loved the fabric I'd make it work. I would think the quilt you'd want to make would have the vintage or shabby chic look depending on the color/colors of your fabric.

There are no rules, your imagination is limitless...so there's no true yes or no just depends on you!

Not my style had another reason for asking . But you are so right.

I would love to know also - I have a huge box of juvenile prints already cut into squares by hand, not by a rotary cutter. Thought about a baby quilt of some sort.

well Nikki. like Quiltmaker said there are no rules. After all in a lot of the old quilts tops I have there are all kinds of fabric.

I used it in this quilt, but you really can't tell it's plisse. It's the little flowers on the white background on the border and certain squares. It wasn't a strong ripple in the fabric and pressed easily.
