no=not at all...i'm a long-armer and have quilted many quilts people used broadclothes in---tops and backs-
and as far as the weight- just like other cottons- there are heavy, medium and lightweight broadcloth's...
many people use them- for the color selection- and sometimes because of a good sale...
you can use anything you want in YOUR quilt- just make sure different fabrics can be cared for together-(you don't want to mix a wash in cold only with a dry clean only. as long as the fabrics can be cared for together they can go together- and even sometimes (wallhangings) you don't even have to worry about that.
