Can i/Should I use Cotton to make kitchen valances? I really dont like the feel of drapery fabric. I know they will need to be lined so the sun doesnt burn them but i am not sure if it ill look good. I will need high quality cotton right?

For my valances (kitchen, kid's room, bathroom) I just used regular fabric, cotton or poly/cotton blend, and doubled it.
This comes out much nicer than the not so cheapie purchased ones and gives you a much wider choice too. Very easy to just match the border of your quilt, for instance, if you use it in the bedroom.

I have made valances many times out of cotton. In fact am now making some for DD to match the red, white and blue strip quilt I made for her. I will line them because they are also done in strips and I don't want the seems to show.
