If the fabric is washed, they may not take the fabric back, but if the fabric was in the same state as when you bought it, it would depend on their return policy. Once I was sent the wrong fabric and the company (Ithink it was Connecting Threads, it's been a long while), told me to keep the fabric and sent me a replacement of the fabric I had originally ordered. I was a happy camper as the fat quarters I received were beautiful/.
