I suppose one could make a quilt top from the silky, slippery, woven polyester fabrics.
I would choose something that used big pieces and would use at least a 3/8 inch seam allowance. My experience has been that it tends to fray/unravel wildly.
I would also overcast the seams - or sew a second seam 1/8 away from the first.
But I'm a "belt and suspenders" kind of person. Bring sunblock and an umbrella to a picnic, etc.
