I wouldn't worry about which fabric you use for your quilts, I have seen some really stunning quilts made from left-over cushion and curtain fabric! The most important thing is that the fabric is strong and all the same weight. If you use varying weights of fabric the quilt won't drape properly. Experiment! You might surprise yourself! Hi Jo,

I do find there is a snobbery about using only certain materials and it can be a really expensive hobby.Would love to see how others have made use of scraps and recycled materials Thank you for reminding us of a more economical way to quilt.I’m relatively new to quilting…. find it now very hard to even summon the time for cleaning my house as I have so many quilt projects I want to get on with.
