The floral fabric that I used was polycotton and caused no end of trouble.

Sorry for the 'squishy' pic.

Yes Diane.
It had a coating on it and was really slippery especially when I started to quilt it.

I don't pre-wash fabrics but I think it would have been a good idea with this one.

I assumed it was poly but perhaps it was some other synthetic.

Could it have been polished cotton? It has a coating on it. I always prewash all my fabrics, I don't like the sizing. If they will fade or not wash up good I want to know before I put all the work and time into them.

Beautiful quilt, great colors and job.
