What to do with FQ that were gifted but are poor fabric quality.

Starch the heck out of those babies and use them. Maybe a table runner or some pillows. Or one of those cloths line rope baskets, you dont need great fabric for those. Use them with pride. Or you could tie a ribbon around them and display them in your sewing room until you find a purpose for them.

What a wonderful son. I would make a wall hanging or a lap quilt. Neither one would get used alot so you would'nt have to worry about wear and tear. Remember something we dont like today we could love tomorrow.

I have some like that I'm planning to use with fusible appliqué. I figured the fusible would stabilize them somewhat and the background fabric would take all the stress of the seams. It was a very thoughtful gift. I think you should find a way to use it and be sure he sees the finished product.

He very specifically got something he felt like you would appreciate. Don't spoil his thoughtfulness and generosity!
