I would love it if someone would educate me about Chintz fabric.
I have some chintz fabric on bolts that I bought at an auction. They came along with some vintage barkcloth that I really wanted.
Here are my questions or concerns.
1. I know that it is a "glazed" fabric, but does the glaze ever soften up or go away?
2. Is it something that could ever be used in a quilt, or as backing?
3. Any suggestions about what I could use it for? Totes maybe?

I have washed a piece several times, and it doesnt seem to get much softer. But I only washed it 3 times.
I am hoping someone might have experience with this fabric. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. thanks so much!
I know with all the knowledgeable people on the board, that somebody should surely be able to help me! :thumbup:
