    Thanks to all of you for your ideas! I'm sure now that I will keep it and find some way to use it.

    Anyone ever notice how the nicest fabric comes from the ugliest clothes? I always think the clerks will assume I have awful taste and are getting a good laugh out of it.

    I just finished cutting up a bunch of Hawaiian shirts for my SIL's "Hawian Vomit" themed quilt. I'm all about upcyciling.

    I'd use it...I made a memory quilt out of some gowns that are over 30 yrs old for a customer...they were as strong as new fabric
