All of your quilts are beautiful, They show how well fabric's can be mixed. I have used poly with cottons in the past and will do it again if I have colors that go together. I have a lot of very old calico's from my DM's fabrics and I mix them with newer fabrics all the time with good luck.

I had no idea what I was doing when I make my first quilt only 5 years ago. My mother had given me a box of scraps. I sewed them all together in strips, not know any other way. There was polyester, cotton, blends, jersey, and seersucker of all things. I didn't know if it would even come out right in the end. I was doing QAYG from You Tube. It is on my bed 5 years later, and I love it! Ugly, yes, but warm and functional and just right for me. All of those fabrics worked into a quilt for sure.
Mixing fabrics is never "bad" unless you don't like how they feel together.
