Well, first of all, do you like the fabrics? If not, then donate it. If you do, you could make a changing mat, burp pads, lap pads, bibs, or something else with those and buy what you like to make the baby quilt.

Quilting is for fun. If those fabrics will not be fun for you to work with, donate, sell or trade the quilt to someone who likes it.
If it were me, I'd make it. As long as the fabric will set still, I like to sew it.

Do the match test. Cut a snippet and put a lit match to it , if it burns it s cotton, if it melts it is a blend.
Sounds like you don't like the feel of the fabric. If you don't , babe won't.
Congrats on baby.

, Pam. I swear I looked ALL over for the fabric content. But it sure doesn't feel or look like 100% cotton. It has a shine to it and it feels kind of silky. I must have looked like most of our husbands look for things...LOL...right in front of their eyes and can't find it.

Thank every one of you. This board is the GREATEST. So many ideas and you have all convinced me to just DO IT...what have I got to loose. I plan on starting it tomorrow. I promise I'll post a picture when it's done and will let you know which direction the finished product will go...ha ha.

Pat: I know you have decided but just wanted to say how much I like the quilt. The use of that dark red really sets off all the other colors. I do wonder if they are using a different finish on cotton because just recently I found a couple of 100% cotton fabrics that had a different feel. Not bad just different.
