I have three pieces of about 5 yards each which is "thin" that I bought at an estate sale. They are perfect prints for backing a child's I spy quilt. One is red spirals on white, another is green turtles on white and I can't remember what the third is. It has a nice hand. It's like the fabric that our summer nightgowns were made of back in the olden days.
Because it's so thin, I've been afraid to use it. I usually use 80/20 batting, but it's kind of beige with dark specks which would show through. Maybe I'll find some white batting and try making a small quilt and just see how it looks. (I have plenty of it.)
Thanks for this subject.
