Hello...my name is Pat and have enjoyed machine piecing and free motion quilting for about 5 yrs now. I look fwd to my morning email and the daily deal! Gets me in Dutch sometimes w/hubby but he enjoys my hobby.
I have a question...I accidentallly ordered a flannel layer cake along with a cotton layer cake for a baby quilt, can I mix flannel and cotton?
Glad I came across a forum from Missouri Star.
Thanks, Pat

Re: Newbie

I have mixed lots of fabrics before I thought better of it! One kit even had a satiny sari-type fabric in it. They should work out OK. I did have to fray-check the edge of the satin material as it was frizzing all over the place.

Welcome to the forum!

Re: Newbie

I too have mixed different types of fabric. Go for it...it will probably turn out great! There are no quilt police...so feel free to share your creations with us. Welcome to M*QC forums!

Re: Newbie

It is wonderful to have a place to go and ask before I get started. Thanks for your help!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Newbie

Lol....we are our worst critics.
I enjoy the videos and Block magazine and do have a few quilts that are done and gone. Mostly baby shower gifts.
Now that I've found this forum, I'll be more likely to stretch my comfort zone.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Re: Newbie

One of the baby quilts I did was a cotton front and flannel back. I figured it was best of both worlds!
