Can I back a silk pillow front (made with mens ties) with cotton fabric?
I made a few pillow tops with silk ties from a neighbor whose husband passed. I would like to know if I can back them with cotton...I don't have silk material left. My neighbor knows that the pillows would have to be spot-cleaned when needed.
Thank you!
Thank you!

I don't se why not! Just pick a co-or donating pattern or color and I am sure she will love the keepsake. I have seen several other posts on this board where creative quilters mix quilting cottons with silk and many other fabrics. In fact I think a cotton backing is a good idea as it will be less slick and will stay on the bed/chair/couch better !
