I love poly/cotton blends. They hold their colors, they don't shrink, and when I use them for pillow cases, they are smooth and silky. I love cotton, too, and use whatever goes with whatever I'm making. Since I'm not making heirloom quilts or care whether they win a prize somewhere, I can do what I please without regard to the quilt police. And I do declare that there are some around! froggyintexas
