I have no clue! But it washed up real nice and there is about 9-10 yards of it.

Thanks for helping!

It seems like you have enough for some kind of "set." Perhaps a table runner and a set of placemats. Then go crazy with the dish towels and pot holders and mitts. OR make a quilt!
:lol:

It looks like a 50's fabric. Pretty and a lot to work with.

I had to chuckle at your comment about "partial to their own", very true. I always tried to be considerate for people with disabilities, however since Kayden was born, it really opened my eyes!

"Now how about that for a nice, concise description of what you have recently acquired."

Sending you a PM...

That is what i'm thinking but have never seen this much of it in one piece. The cloth is really nice and washed really great. My grandson will be having surgery soon and it will be a long stay in the hospital so i'm thinking I will take this with me and try my hand at embroidery. I believe there is enough to use in a quilt. Not sure what i'm going to do yet!
good luck wishes coming his way!

Thank you so so much!
