I think that the "quilt police" have scared the wits out of the 21st century quilters. Poly cotton was used for decades in quilting, when quilts were used to keep warm and be loved, not as objects to be gazed at in adoration. Make some fun quilts to be used as quilts were intended to be used.

Donate it to your local women's group at church. There are always ways to use fabric you don't want/need any longer.
|
You can just send it to me and I will make good use of it. Great for kids clothes.
|
Is there anything we need to do differently if we use poly cotton? Will an iron set for cotton cause it to shrink?
|
I use it to make chicken scratch quilts.

I love polycotton. It wears like iron, holds its color and is virtually idestructible. It drapes well, is easy to quilt---It makes wonderful baby quilts. froggyintexas

I am cleaning and reorganizing my sewing room. I came across this bundle of cotton/poly gingham and I don't know what to do with it! I have several yards of the different colors. I am at a loss as to whether I should keep it or not. What do you use cotton/poly gingham for?

I was concerned about using them in quilts because they are poly cotton - thanks for easing my mind! I had invisioned some colorful pinwheels or 1/2 square triangles. . .

I used the ginghams in wall quilt I made for my sister by making flowers with heart shapes . Each petal was a different colored gingham and I backed it with flannel that had the same colored squares-like a patchwork. Also when I was making AG doll clothes I made plenty of "Dorothy" dresses from the blue gingham. As been said there are plenty of designs that go with the gingham. Have fun with it!

i smocked this for little girls dresses. held up well through MULTIPLE washings: think 5 daughters and hand-me downs
