Question on base for strip piecing
#1
I plan on doing some strip piecing with the scraps I have. I have some very thin cotton/polyester sheets and thought about cutting them up for the base. Do you think that fabric content could be a problem?
Thanks.

The only issue would be that if you're using cotton scraps that have not been washed there could be some shrinkage issues. I'm assuming your sheets have been prewashed already... If your scraps and sheets have been washed and already shrunk, there shouldn't be any problems.

If you plan to have someone else quilt your product, you need to remember that some long-armers won't quilt items made with sheets - the sheet fabric doesn't quilt as easily as regular quilt fabric does...should be no problem as far as the piecing is concerned.
