From the top you can refer to the fabrics as A,B,C,D and E.
Which should I use for…
1.Crib skirt/dust ruffles
2. Mattress fitted sheets
3. Mattress pad fitted sheets
4. Bumper pad – outside/inside
5. Throw pillows
6. Rail cover
(feel free to list multiple fabrics/trims/accents)
I’m also making window valences, a diaper stacker, a clothe clothes hamper, a quilt containing all the materials, hanging storage containers, lamp shade, and decorative wall hangings… But I can probably figure out what materials to use based on how I used them in the actual bedding 
I would use any 100% cotton fabric. Pre wash it for shrinkage! For infants a little color or light print ( the dyes in heavily printed or colored fabrics may cause allergies).
For any padded piece use poly foam stuffing it is washable and easy to work with.
For the mattress pad use the cotton as outer layer, Flat batting (like for quilts) and a strong plastic for the no leak layer (or spray water-proofing on one side of finished piece that will be away from the baby–I don’t like it for the allergy reason. It will have to be resprayed about once every month.) If placing plastic then sandwich it in the middle of the piece. End with the cotton fabric again. Never put the child in direct contact with the plastic for safety reasons. You sandwich all layers together: Cotton fabric, batting, plastic, batting, cotton fabric Then double row stitch all around the full piece.
You can make a quilt the same way without the waterproof layer.
You can add cotton lace edgings and cotton ribbon for the ties. No buttons or loose items that the infant can ingest.
Any curtains, skirts, chairpads, wall hangings can be made the same way. There are a lot of cute patterans in any fabic store or google for free ones.
