What do you do with hideous ugly polyester fabric from 1970s???

Could you cut it into 12 inch squares and make it like you were making a tshirt quilt? You could use stabilizer to keep it from stretching and make a patchwork quilt. I think it would be really cute. My family likes the patchwork quilts best of all

the really slinky, stuff is hard to give away,,BUT the thicker really horrid ones are the best for making CAR emergency blankets! Adult bibs and lap throws for Sr homes, and for weaving into throw rugs for the kitchen! Here in OK the Mennonite community buys up that poly as fast as you can bring it out! WHY you ask...because it stands the test of time and hard use...so for woven/braided rugs, emergency blankets, pet blankets etc....nothing lasts longer, or wears better!
