    I'm not really sure since it is a puckered fabric...but if I really loved the fabric I'd make it work. I would think the quilt you'd want to make would have the vintage or shabby chic look depending on the color/colors of your fabric.

    There are no rules, your imagination is limitless...so there's no true yes or no just depends on you!

    I would love to know also - I have a huge box of juvenile prints already cut into squares by hand, not by a rotary cutter. Thought about a baby quilt of some sort.

    I used it in this quilt, but you really can't tell it's plisse. It's the little flowers on the white background on the border and certain squares. It wasn't a strong ripple in the fabric and pressed easily.
