IKEA Finurlig swatches
I received a couple of bundles of fabric squares, they are like a fat jelly roll of 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" for my birthday. The tag says 100% cotton, but the fabric is a bit thicker like maybe a canvas. Has anyone ever bought these and used them? I was thinking a rag quilt .... thought I would ask if anyone else had used them and washed the finished project.

$4.99 for 50 squares is pretty good

It is probably decorator weight, like used for upholstery and drapes. You can use it and it will wear like iron, but the heaviness adds a lot of bulk in the seams. Would make a perfect picnic/fort quilt

I'll add these to my to-do pile

I have a few bundles too. They are more like a canvas - as mentioned above. If I were to use them in a quilt it would be a utility type (i.e. picnic). I bought them to make patchwork pet beds for my crew of cats. : )
