I tried to post a few minutes ago but nothing happened. I apologize if this becomes a double post.
I want to thank all of you for your help. It may be that this quilt would have ended up "out the window" without your great ideas, tips and suggestions.

I tried my hand at fmq for the first time and also sid. This is the second queen size quilt I have made (both are the same pattern). My sister got the first one and I decided to give it another go for our home. I am really happy I did. There is next to no cotton in this quilt - all made with fabrics I had on hand.

Very nice!

It is a beautiful quilt...what kind of fabrics did you use? Nice quilting done on it too.

Love the pattern and colors, great work~!!!

Wow!!!! It is stunning :thumbup:

Your FMQ is really good for a first timer. I like your quilt and the colors are very serene.

Beautiful quilt!

I used linen, a poly mix (made a suit from it years ago and still had quite a bit here) and an "unknown fibers (the dotted one). The batting is cotton and the backing is muslin.

It's very rich looking. Nice job on it!

Gorgeous quilt! So glad you stuck with it

I think this answers the question of whether it's "necessary" to use only 100% cotton in quilts. Nice workl!
