    I think you could use it for tote bags or gift bags!
    Happy Quilting!

    Sooooo. I'm guessing Minky and fleece are out also. They are both almost always polyester.

A huge reason I don't like polyester, plus it isn't real easy to quilt because of the weave and stretch.

    I would use it, I use everything I have. Just me. If I worried about every possible hazard my monsters would have to live in a bubble. Most comforters and sheets are poly or poly blend. I buy cotton sheets but its a comfort thing I hate pilling. I just backed my daughters quilt with fleece because I had it.
