Fabric blends for decorative quilts? Need Advice.
Hello, I am a novice quilter and have learned so much from all the posts from so many knowledgeable quilters and seamstresses on this board! You are so generous and such fun..it makes my day!
I promised my middle-aged kids that I would sort my fabrics (sooo many decisions!) and donate to a worthy cause. None of my daughters still sew (they did when younger) only my daughter-in-law, who quilts with cottons. I used to sew many garments for myself and family, but not so much now. I have some lovely fabrics that have some poly in them and also, some that have a soft hand, but would look nice in a wall hanging. It seems that most folks use cotton fabric for quilting. Could an iron-on interfacing (light weight) be fused to the back of these fabrics to give them body, then use for piecing? Like crazy quilting that used satin and other fine fabrics. I would really appreciate all suggestions and information about what has worked for your creations. Can you tell I'm having trouble parting with some of my pieces? I am parting with about half of my stash (but NO quilting cottons..I'm drawing the line there!). Thank you all so much for your help. Shirley
