...might want to consider making quick strip quilt blocks...have seen some really cute quilts with seersucker mixed in with the "traditional" cottons....!

I have used seersucker in quilts from time to time and had no problems.

I made an all seersucker giant log cabin. The idea was in a magazine. I will attach a picture. It washes well.

How different can it be from the fabric treated with that new stuff - "texture Magic"(?)

I've done a couple of baby quilts. shhh my kids haven't seen them yet. They are made with seersucker that I had made them clothes with when they were younger. I found the extra fabric when tidying up and made a couple of adoreable quilts. The seersucker is a little stretchier than the cottons, so you have to be careful that way....

Seersucker is especially nice in quilts for bedridden or visually impaired recipients. The tactile quality of it (like corduroy, flannel, etc.) gives the quilt an extra "dimension" for these folks.

My MIL was very thrifty and made more quilts then I would care to count. She used all kinds of fabric, never had a problem. I have some that she made as far back as the 20s.Most of the quilts were given to the church for missions.

Thanks for all of your help. I think we will try using it, maybe with other cottons, if possible. Will keep all informed.
Thanks again. Deb

I did and it came out fine.

I quilted a quilt for a lady once that was all seersucker. I was worried that it would stretch a lot, but it was fine. It was very soft and even though it stretched some, it turned out the same as regular cotton.
