Advice for quilting with alternative fabric
#11
What if you chose the african fabrics with the same color scheme and made the baby's quilt from the new fabrics, then either a small wallhanging for her room with the new fabrics & the scarves combined, or perhaps make a little "doll" quilt with the scarves...

I like your idea of going with the same color scheme. Lots of folks don't really know what type of fabrics should be used, or are appropriate, for a quilt, so I'd be willing to bet the colors are what attracted them anyway. Love to see it when it's done - or even in progress!

A layered skirt on a doll to hang on wall would tie in with quilt, and everyone will be happy! a great surprise! :D

i made a large quilt using voile in the main blocks. i prewashed and foundation pieced and even though the voile got limp, it worked out fine. i think that if you preshrink, use fusible and plenty of stitching it should work. it's the small flower print and i don't know if it shows, but it has stitching back and forth on every piece.
