Ok I finally tackled the big quilt last night. Everything is cut and ready to commence sewing!

However, before I do, I have a question about fabrics. I was pretty sure that I bought all 100% cotton fabrics but I am seeing a really noticeable difference in a few of them. First, there are two striped fabrics that seem much softer than the others and tend to not be stiff at all...which is a bit frustrating as the stripes are kind of "scewed"...not sure how else to describe it...and pressing doesn't seem to do much.

Then there are two others that are the same print but in different colours and they almost feel rubbery! Is this too much sizing or have I purchased non-cottons here?? They were relatively cheap so if I have to replace them I will...but it's annoying.

I also think I am getting old product lines but paying top dollar...how do I know? For my fellow Ontarians,...I shop at Lens Mills...any thoughts on them? They have much lower prices than my LQS but I think I'm getting old stuff??
