Mine was a little different . . you know how once and awhile the 'sizing' gives the fabric a stiff feeling. And you figure it will 'wash out' NOT! This one was so 'stiff' and I thought it would not feel soft and cozy in a quilt. So I set it aside. Then one day - light-bulb thought. I used it to make a clothesline basket and a thread-catcher. I just could not throw it away. So the bad came out good.
