That looks like linen to me and probably is since it's 32 yrs old. I also would make them into whole cloth quilts adding borders if needed and do some awesome quilting on them. I'm sure your daughters would love such a gift.

Do you think it can be made into a quilt top instead? Its not l00%cotton and I am not really sure what it is. I have tried to take a picture of fabric so you have an idea. Also including picture of parts of tablecloth.
I havbe 2 daughters so they would each have a quilt if it can be done (they would be more apt to use a quilt than a tablecloth)
Do you think I should try it or just keep it as is - It is very special to me but its not being used!!!! Help!!!!
