Go green! Give those table linens a new purpose in life! I have some rescued linens that I have cut into squares but was hesitant to use. Very wonderful! Now they are going into my quilting pool - TODAY! Thanks for the encouragement on including natural fibers. Even if they wrinkle, it will only add to the charm and, when I washed them before cutting, they didn't wrinkle much. Darling little Pennsylvania Dutch design.
I am all about using cotton sheets for backing and sometimes, even cut up and added to the front when the color/design works for that.
