Cotton Coverlet

I've been asked to make a twin bed cover/quilt from "Hawaiian" mu-mu fabrics. I assumed the fabrics would be cotton floral prints. When the box arrived it contained a dozen flowing caftans and a number of scarves of fine silk like polyester, all in dramatic prints. I can't imagine that fabric as a bed quilt. Has anyone worked with this type fabric for a coverlet? How would I stabilize the work? Thanks for all input.

That stuff is difficult to quilt well, will need to be stabilized, and is otherwise a pain to work with on a quilt project. I'd return the materials and commission.

I discovered a dime-size blood stain in a cotton(?) coverlet which was brought back from a trip to Nepal. It is not thick, quilted or padded at all, not really much thicker than a sheet. The stain is definitely "set-in," as it has been washed several times since.

Unfortunately because the coverlet has colored embroidery / appliques, I need a spot treatment, something which will not bleach or damage the colored areas. Also please nothing so strong I could end up with a hole instead of a stain.

Suggestions much appreciated!

I just used Bio Kleen Bac Out to get blood out of a pair of jeans and it all came out even after they sat for a week before washing.
