fabric from Ikea?

I was just looking online at their fabrics and they have some beautiful modern prints at a decent price. and although I don't live by an Ikea store, my husband plays golf once a month with a guy near Chicago! So I was wanting to know if the material is really good, if it is I might just go with him next time he does a golf run to grab some fabric! :)

thanks for looking and any advice you might have!

I wonder if it would be more of a decorating weight, like for chair cushions, etc?

Hi,
I often use fabric from Ikea. My favourite fabric called "Ditte". Itīs unicolored cotton in several coulors. I make several Amish-Quilts of it.
But here in Germany many peoples says that the qualitiy ist not so well as specially Quilting-Fabric.
But I find the quality good and I use it gladly and often

Geta used the canvas fabric from there for purses and it looked very nice.

I live near the Schaumburg store. I have seen the fabric, more from cushion covers, drapery, etc. I know that I wouldn't use it for quilting....
