White polished cotton
I am looking for info on polished cotton or some thing similar. I am going to make a Star Trooper quilt for my Grand son. I can picture it made with polished cotton or something similar. If any one out there has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You Maureen |
Polished cotton, in my experience, does not stay polished. Once it is washed, all the "polishness" washes out too. You might want to try a tricot lame. Lame stays shiny, and the tricot backing prevents the machine needle from creating snags. Tricot lame is pricey and hard to find, though. I would go to JoAnn's and look for a synthetic fabric that would work.

So none of these suggestions worked?

Fairy frost has an awesome white called snow -- it is a Michael Miller fabric. It has a bit of a sheen and a tone on tone pattern -- it is the only fabric I ever bought in a 10 yard quantity more than once. Some folks say it does not retain the finish, but I have washed some table runners many times and they still look great. There is a white in this line that is glittered, this is not the one I mean.

I got an email alert from Missouri Quilt Co this morning. They have something called Bella Solids Porcelain on their daily deal. To me, it looks like it has a little sheen. BTW the deal is 2 yards for $6.
Michael Miller's Fairy Frost is also a good choice. Northcott has a couple of lines. Sorry don't know the names but one is white with white swirls and the other is white with heavier white like a blender. You could also quilt it using a silvery thread to emphasize the stormtrooper . |
