    I have a lot of fabric the is very wide and on rolls that was giving to me. It is poly/cotton. Would you use it for backing on your quilt ?

    Sure, as long as all of the fabrics used in the quilts were prewashed and dryed :D:D:D

    sure It holds up better for kids quilts and ones that get alot of use
    With this economy we can't let anything go to waste!

    I'm not a big fan of poly cotton blends. I'd sell it, trade it etc. to get what I really wanted.

    I think I will trade it. I don't think anyone would buy it.
