Do you think it can be made into a quilt top instead? Its not l00%cotton and I am not really sure what it is. I have tried to take a picture of fabric so you have an idea. Also including picture of parts of tablecloth.

I havbe 2 daughters so they would each have a quilt if it can be done (they would be more apt to use a quilt than a tablecloth)

Do you think I should try it or just keep it as is - It is very special to me but its not being used!!!! Help!!!!
It is beautiful - are you contemplating a whole cloth that would just be backed with batting between and quilted, or are you thinking of cutting it and piecing it? If it were me, I would go down the first route. If it isn't big enough you could add suitable borders, or just use it on top of your bed, on point, as decoration.
