I like that fabric. I am saving all my older fabric. I saw a video that showed how to dye old fabric and make it look more interesting. Maybe that would work for you with this fabric. That is what I plan to do.

We didn't refuse any type of material and it's all been used. Good luck

I agree with you. Many fabrics become more interesting when you cut them up.

I don't think it is that bad. But i am sure that if you listed it in our classified you could easily sell it and make another quilter happy

I like it, too. It would be a quick charity quilt with a "read as solid" backing.

Not ugly at all. It would be good for a quilt back, or for placemats and a runner, lots of possibilities.
