Default Glow in the dark fabric

Has anyone used glow in the dark fabric? I was wondering how it held up to washings and if it indeed did glow in the dark.

Thanks. I have read that thread but was concerned about how it held up to washings. 3-5 isn't very many. I was planning on making pillow cases. I was hoping others had used the fabrics that had many washings. Connecting Threads has some in their recent catalog that would make cute pillowcases.

I used this fabric by mistake in a quilt. Only a few know which quilt it is.

Yes it does glow in the dark. At Angie's patchwork an quilting shop a group of us went into the disabled toilet and switched the light off to find out. It was hilarious and a little scary to see parts of a quilt glow.

it does get washed frequently when in use ie during the winter.

I had a T-shirt (for Halloween) that glowed in the dark. It didn't glow so much after several washings. I don't know if that's comparable to cottons that glow.
