I have mixed fabric types before - just pre-wash everything so any shrinkage happens before the quilt goes together. That way if something shrinks a lot more than others you'll still be OK. Your pre-stamped squares are probably OK without pre-washing since poly doesn't shrink; so I would assume poly/cotton would shrink less than pure cotton. And watch iron temp, poly can't handle as much heat as cotton.
