    We put up three 6' tables for Christmas Dinner. I bought plaid flannel that is 54 inches wide and heavier than regular flannel. We use it every year. It washes beautifully, and then all I have to do the next year is spritz it with water and fluff it in the dryer. No ironing.
    Fluff and go! Oh, the backround of the plaid is white so there has been no fading.

    Bev a couple of the fabrics I sent would make nice table cloths they are "out of the box" colors for any holiday. I bought another length of the pinkish plaid for just that. It will make a nice table liner protector too with the flannel and another fabric for a different season. Unless you've already used it for a pretty quilt.

    I haven't done any sewing in about a week. Haven't felt good. The cold really gets to my knees (arthritis) and I have to climb stairs to my sewing room where theres no heat.... Hoping to sew today tho. My Aunt gave me some robe fleece to put on back of Davids quilt..... I may just bring my sewing machine down stairs.... I like the idea of the flannel... I love the fabs you sent. They'll work awesome
    THANK YOU for keeping me sewing ANGEL GIRL :wink:
