Can it be done....

What a great idea. I am going though a ton of linens from the family of my husbands. I have washed 6 loads and just finished folding and stacking a basket. I would make sure it is washable. You have washed it before, right? Children don't need another thing to pay for if it is dry clean only. I love your idea and am looking at the linens differently now. Thanks!

there was a time in the late 60's when people used a colorful floral table cloth for the center of the quilt, then added plain colored borders and of course, quilted around each flower.
i would thilnk your table cloth would be a beautiful quilt. remmber when we cross stitched blocks to make a quilt? same idea.

I did this exact tablecloth back in 1976 for my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary. I bought it from LeeWard's Craft Store. IF I remember correctly, it is 100% linen. I will try to find my paperwork---I keep all that kind of stuff---to verify for you. May take a couple of days to find.
Are you sure you don't have the napkins to go with it?? They would make a nice quilt also.
Whole cloth quilt would be beautiful!
