But I've reached a tote that looks like older fabric...from the 90's...
And you know that saying "if the fabric is still ugly it means you haven't cut it small enough"?
Well...I beg to differ...you couldn't possibly cut this stuff small enough...though I will try...
And not only that...there are FOUR YARDS of this ugliness!!! LOL

In making charity quilts we inherited some fabric that was definitely not of my taste. However, cutting them into 2 1/2 inch strips and sewing them together with other things & cutting into blocks has taken the eye off of that fabric and was usable. As they say - beauty is in the eye of the beholder (LOL).... and for sure to each his own. Will be interesting to see what you do with it - or give it away. We didn't refuse any type of material and it's all been used. Good luck
