Agree--available in long pieces for you to finish, this is printed to look quilted. Huck toweling is still available as yardage.

Look pretty as slip covers for kitchen chairs? Table runners, too.

Maybe it was bought to make a table cloth or kitchen curtains.

I agree with the 50's look. Lucky girl you are! Let us know what you make.

I think it looks like curtain fabric. I had some old ones from my mom's house. About the right width for kitchen curtains. Mine weren't so bright and cheery though. I ended up cutting and serging the edge to use as cloths in my camper. Didn't have the yardage you have.

Grandson going to Detroit Childrens? My granddaughter is a patient there periodically for her throat. She has a paralyzed vocal cord from having a trach. She is a triplet, was a one pound preemie. Now 10 yrs. old!

Good luck to him, hope he sails through the surgery. Hugs to your special boy and his grandma!

He is a frequent flyer at Children's. He has hydrocephalus (49 revisions thus far) and recently diagnosed with Chairi Malformation and needs decompression surgery (brain surgery). He is a tough little guy to have been through so much in his 6 years. I must admit, the doc's said he wouldn't make it 3 days after he was born. Hmp! He sure showed them! He is a special little boy and I am so happy the big guy upstairs put him in my life!

Agree it looks like the 50's. Im open to ideals on what to make. Would it be bad to use in a quilt???

Born in Detroit, east side, now live in the thumb.

Mother in-law is in St. Clair. We will be moving up that way, hopefully soon.
