I went to Ikea in Woodbridge, VA this past week and saw the sale fabric. I agree that it would be good for placemats and tablecloths. I purchased a large pillow cover 22 cm x 22 cm. It washed beautifully with no shrinkage. I think this fabric would also be useful for quilt backs that will be machine quilted. Probably too heavy for hand quilting.
