I have several that my grand mother made. I don't use them very often, for I don't do many sit down dinners any longer. I think that they should be kept as table cloths.

I have embroidery pillowcases intended to do a pillowcase dresses for my GD's for wearing on special occasion, etc. Haven't had the courage yet to cut into it! But the tablecloth will be another thing ...using it as the focus point is ideal if you can use the right add on fabric 's to enchanced the beauty of it.
Good luck, sorry i can't really give you better info for your project.

I'm already picturing beautiful quilting on it as a whole cloth quilt to compliment the cross stitching. It will make a wonderful 2 generation, piece of history quilt. I agree that you should include a label on the back with the FULL history of it.
