    My Neighbor brought over a bag full of these, she got them when she had her dogs groomed.. I made cute scrappy quilts for her sweet little fur balls.. I cut them to managable sizes and had fun sewing them together... just use your imagination and have fun...

    I'm trying to remember what they are called, but I've made my hubby some "skull caps" out of fabrics like that. It's the fabric that fits between his head and the helmet. I like it because they are washable and prevent stinky head and helmet. I went to a bike shop and they were selling them for approx. $14. I made one for about a dollar.

    I bought one on sale half price, deconstructed it, and made a pattern.

    I wonder if they were meant to be made into dog bandanas?

    Use it to make a donation quilt for a child. What fun to have a quilt with all sorts of fabric on it! A kid would love that!

    The dog groomer was my thought as well. I would go scrappy and donate it.
