Quilting and Patchwork

Results of Poll About Quilting Fabrics

by Mary Emma Allen on March 13th, 2007

What type of fabric do you prefer for your quilting and fabric art, I asked my readers.

The choices were: 

*Polyester/cotton blend

*100% cotton

*Silk, satin, brocades, metallics, etc.

*A combination of fabrics

Apparently quilters and fabric artists still generally prefer 100% cotton as they did during the fabric debate throughout the Bicentennial Years (1975-76+) when I became involved in quiltmaking as a business.  Seventy percent of my readers voted for the 100% cotton.

Thirty percent opted for a combination of fabrics, while no one voted for polyester/cotton blend or the silk, satin, brocades, and metallics.
