I bought some on Amazon a few months ago to use in an embroidery project. It's much too coarse for a quilt, imo, and it wrinkles like crazy. It was fine for an embroidery design that was framed. It closely resembles burlap, but is a finer weave than that. I assume there are different weights and stitch counts, and perhaps there are some that would be more suitable for a quilt. I had a lot left over, and decided to make dishtowels, since some vintage dishtowels are made of it. That was how I found out about wrinkling. I don't like the idea of having to iron dishtowels. The picture shows what they look like coming out of the dryer and after ironing. This is unbleached, and perhaps the bleached version is much softer.
