No one here tries to offend anyone when we say its best to use cotton fabric and yes fabric is pricey. It only matters to you! If love goes along with it who cares??? The feeling of finishing a quilt can't be beat! No matter what type of fabric don't forget to sign and date your quilts! Be happy everyone! Quilt on!!!!!!! Keep the art of quilting alive! :)

Mary F., your crazy quilt is GREAT!! I have never done anything like that, but I plan to and your result will be my inspiration. So far I have only done simple patch charity quilts.

:oops: I like the crazy quilt, but pjustice63 is there a way we could get a closer look at the quilt on the bed. I love it. What is the design? Can anyone tell me what is a community benefactor. How long does one need to be on the board before they are a regular. Thanks
