This looks like curtains or a tablecloth.
Well, it went in the mail today to a very happy lady in Cincinnati.

Carrie...THAT was pretty knit. I love working with knit as well as cotton. Knit quilts are the warmest, BUT never mix the two fabrics. YOU thought your paisley was ugly too...BUT I loved it.
Pffffffffffft on your uglies...LOL.... wish I had read your post earlier & would have taken it off your hands.
BIG (((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))

Self taught...no one around close to me quilts...no guilds for me to join. I didn't use stablizer & I am still using the quilt on the bed in winter after 20 years. I cut up knits from my MIL's old clothes. Put a 'used' sheet blanket on the back & no batting. I use what I can!
Everyone here has their own way & I don't have 'quilt' police in my home.

This is a piece of knit material in blue and yellow. I would love to give it away but am afraid no one will want it either. The salvage says Wamsutta Knitting mills. I have no idea how old this is or where it came from because I don't like knit.
Here is mine now show me yours. I promise I won't laugh if you happen to like it. But be honest about it.
I could see this as a tote bag.

I agree and think it would be great for stack and whack. Can a stabilizer be used since it's knit; or it's best not to even use it at all? I think if it was all knit and maybe hand quilted, it could be a cut throw.
