I went to wal mart and saw some beautiful white fabric...it is 100% cotton and was only 2.47 a yard..so I quickly bought 5 yards..was so excited!!
I use white a lot on the backs on my baby quilts...when I got home I was feeling of it and looking at my great find..Then....I noticed on the selvage it had..insulated..??? I had bought lining for curtains!!! I washed a piece and it washes good and doesn't shrink much at all.. So do you think I can use it in quilting??? The bad thing is when I got home they had cut me a yard too much so I had to go back and pay for the extra yard..Now I have 6 yards..!!! |
I don't see why you couldn't use it since it's 100% cotton and what a great price!! Give it a try!

I would say it depends how it feels next to the skin. Also, if it is insulated it may make a quilt too hot. I would lie down and drape the fabric over me for a while and see how it feels. If all is okay, GO FOR IT.
|
Wow.. you may have made the discovery of the century! You will have one very warm quilt.
|
It said insulated..rain proof?? Water kinda of bounced off of it but is ok after it is washed??? Don't think the insulation is for retaining heat???
|
I don't see why not. I used curtain fabric in a quilt and it came out great. It was the only fabric I could find a certain color in.
|
I think it would make a nice warm quilt. You may have given us all a new idea. I wish my Wal-Mart still had fabric. I really miss it.
|
I say use it! I think it will me very toasty...I think insulated means retaining heat. I wonder if you got rubber sheeting by mistake? Is it kind of rubbery on the back? JoAnns has it in white.

Great price for 6 yds. I would go ahead and use it :lol:
