Good to hear this. I accidently picked two plain taupe and tan fabrics....and cut them to make use on a scrappy quilt I was making as borders around the nine patches. Ummmm.....why does this fabric feel differant....OHHHHHHH....now I recall, I bought this, what I now remember was a linen cotton something blend to use as background fabric on an embroidered Hummel character quilt I was going to make about a hundred years ago. Of course this was after the quilt was on the long arm being quilted. So there is hope it will wash and wear fine.
