Hi all... here's the deal... I've collected old shirts and thought they were all 100% cotton. But today, when I started cutting them up (since I couldn't get on the board :lol: ) I noticed there are a few cotton/poly blends, and one is a linen/cotton blend. I want to make a log cabin with the thinner weight denim I've cut from old jeans, skirts and shirts. What do you think?

I have with no problem.
|
If I like the fabric, i use it.
|
you can mix any fabrics together.. you just may need to stablize them.. check out crazy quilting!
|
I say go for it. I've done that very thing many times without a problem.
|
I would use them. They are used so must have been washed lots so no worry about shrinkage.
|
yep, I've done it
|
i mix my fabrics somtimes on my quilts,no quilt police here i haven,t gotten caught yet ,and i watch america most wanted every saturday night and haven,t seen my picture on there so i guess im good to go lol
|
I regularly sneak in the odd renegade fabric. As long as it washes alright and is of a similar weight you will be fine.
|
one caution, if using poly, be sure not to use too hot of an iron. the poly may melt.
