Hi everyone, I have some fabric made by Troy Riverwoods (Nature's Way Revisited) that I've had for about 5 years in my stash. I washed it and made a block out of it but boy is it thin. Has anyone used this stuff in a quilt before and how did it hold up? I don't really want to do all this work if it's not going to hold up. I can see my fingers through it. UGH! the only problem is that the colours in it are PERFECT for what I need it for and I can't seem to find anything online that is even remotely the same. Double UGH!!! Has anyone used this with success? It frays easily too....

Maybe back it with fusible interfacing? What a shame, I would be heart sick :(

I agree with using fusible interfacing, then quilting heavily over it. It's a shame the quality is low in a beautiful piece of material. Good luck
