Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My grandaughter married a man from Bangladesh and she has given me these two yardages of fabric and asked me to do something with them. I have had them for about a year and haven't come up with anything. THey are 45" wide and 6 yards in length. THey were originally bought for the mother in law to use for their traditional dress.
Any ideas would be so appreciated. THey are not cotton.

Did you mean to include a picture?
I did, and have spent a lot of time trying to upload it, but now I don't know where it is.
If it is 6 yards long than it is meant to be a Sari...which is traditional dress. I have seen these lengths of fabric used as curtains or a waterfall of the fabric from the ceiling as a bed headboard.
Some of the fabrics are silk, others rayon or polyester. They can be sheer to be used as an overdress.
You could make a fancy skirt with the fabric, or maybe an overblouse with a tank top under.

I think one of these may be rayon and the other polyester. She had in mind some type of quilt of wall hanging. C.
Would either work as a whole cloth quilt?
Hi Carolyn - I also have a couple of sari fabrics. Mine are a damask-type bright orange that appears to be silk and a solid bright turquoise that may be a rayon or polyester. My plan is to make them into whole cloth quilts with heavy quilting because they're so beautifully colored.
A fabric stash is always missing that one fabric needed to finish the quilt on which you're working.
