This Joann's is going out of business and they are giving 25% off all fabric. Said they lost their lease. This was quilting 100% cotton and absolutely gorgeous. I spent about $200 on fabric when I bought this. There was 2 clerks in the store. One was just cutting fabric and the other was manning the cash register and cutting. I had let 4 people go ahead of me as I had a basket FULL of bolts and fat quarters and they only had one or two bolts. I wasn't paying attention.
I thought about tea dying but am afraid that it would darken or muddy the flowers too. Don't want to take that chance. I will go back to the store and see if they will exchange that piece.
The idea for two quilts as was suggested is possible. I have some red material that will be beautiful with it and some yellows that will be awesome with it too.
