You could wash it it very hot water to felt if and then use it for penny rugs table runners etc.

If you were to cut it up, it would be great for santa clauses. I would be tempted to use it for batting. It would be a truly warm quilt.

I think it would make a lovely red wool felted purse.

You can save the "shedding" and use for a pin cushion. I don't recall what you have to do with it but I'm sure that someone on the QB will know. The finished pin cushions can be expensive if you purchase one but are supposed to be great with helping to keep pins sharp.

Hi - one of the gals in our Quilt Club makes wonderful wool mittens and sells them very reasonably. She uses wool sweaters, wool skirts, blankets, etc. She lines them with a nice flannel - and they are soooo very warm. Good luck and have fun.
