I just put some linen with some batiks and quilting cotton. Very pretty. I had a very small piece of pink roses on white linen and wanted to make a rose colored rag blanket. So theres a WOF strip of pink QC, green batik, pink QC, white linen, another p/g/p set, more linen, and one more p/g/p set. Very pretty. The back of each WOF strip is lighter weight light green
