Of course I liked it ... and continued on to cut up the rest of the piece!! :)
The width depends on the pattern... Look... we don't have a tradition on quilting in my country. We are growing in this art from2 or 3 decades only. We need to use imported fabrics, and it turns it very expensive. So, there's not a rule... for example, this kind of fabric, Jinny Beyer, fabric, it is cut on 2 or 3 strips, depending on the pattern...

And yes, it pretty much for quilting uses, it is sold on quilt stores...
