Yes, go ahead & use it if you like it.
Most all of the "old" quilts that were made to keep families warm were made out of any kind of fabric that was available.
Go for it! And then post pics of it.

Good advice here. Hard not to use a fabric you love, in fact impossible! :D

In the past they used all sorts of fabric and those quilts have held up through everything.

As my quilts are mostly recycled fabrics I have used Poly cotton blends with 100% cottons and as long as I prewash all fabrics very well I have had no problems and I hand quilt them again without any problems.

Like Gal I use a lot of recycled fabrics too...I always prewash (even brand new fabric) and I have had no problems. Sometimes a blended fabric has just the right colour or pattern for a project.
