The thing about the floral that is 36 wide, is that the pattern runs all the way to the selvedge with no white line saying anything about fabric, but it felt, washed and ironed like cotton. The red has a small white selvedge, also with no fiber content, and it feels like denim.
FYI, the way to tell the difference between cotton and poly/blend is to hold a match or lighter to a corner of the fabric, then blow it out. If the burnt edge is soft and flaky, it is 100% cotton. If the edge is hard and rough and does not flake off, it is cotton/poly. :) :)
