I would use it to practice free motion quilting. I'm always needing a piece of sample fabric and have a hard time using "good" fabric from my stash.

On the other hand, if it has such an "attractive" quality, I might cut it up into squares, hem it, and use it as dust rags. If it attracts lint, it should attract dust. Like cholla said, waste not.

You sure could make a ton of practice pads with six yards of Kona Black :D |
I would probably get rid of it if it really bothered me to look at it. I might use it to dust up my floors first!

Remember you can cut it into strips to crochet with or add it to a clothesline basket for an accent colour.
|
You could cut it up and use for scraps or make dust cloths out of it. Cotton make very good dishrags if you crochet.

Yup, I had a piece of Wal-Mart flannel that pilled so badly with the pre-wash that it is now a dust rag! None of the other pieces did that and they were all in the same load!

Most likely there was a manufacturing problem with this fabric. Either take it back to the store for a refund, or put it to use in scraps, or donate to Goodwill (they bundle up unusable cottons to sell to paper companies). I wouldn't use it in a quilt.

That's what I do. Make practice sandwiches from fabric I don't like or that is too stiff, and then test my free motion designs on them before putting a 'real' quilt under the needle.
