I seem to be the person everyone things about when it is time to "Give away" fabric from projects. I have only used cottons, and a few batiks for my quilts. I usually buy what I need at the time I need it, then stash what is left. Recently, a bag of goods came my way with many seersuckers, and dotted swiss. Do any of you ever use these in a quilt.? And what about home decor types. I don't know what to do twills, either. I would love any suggestions on a quilt with seersuckers. Thanks for your time.

It is a personal preference on combining fabrics in a quilt, or making one using nontraditional cottons.
I suggest prewashing and drying all of the fabric first, not only to shrink them, but also to see how well they launder :D:D:D

I personally love quilts that not only have a variety of colors, but textures as well. Some of the most magnificant quilts have been made with Texture as the primary focus.
Victorian quilts had the combining of textures , silk with velvet etc.
