    It is 54" long. One section is over 12 yds, one section is 3 yds, and have another small piece. I took a picture of the 3 yd. piece that I have washed, the larger one still have the shine of the scotchguard protection on it. It almost has a woven type texture but is soft after washing.

    With that amount of fabric, I would use it for the backing of quilts.

    I'd use some in a quilt top with some coordinating fabrics and then use it to back the quilt too. Once that was done I'd sell the rest of it.

    I don't have any suggestions, just wanted to say that I love it! Red is one of my favorite colors for quilts and I love the small prints. If you are interested in selling some of it, let me know. I would like 2-3 yards. =)

    I will consider that ChubbyBunny. Right now I'm going to cut another 3 yds and wash that for my quilt back. The red in it matches the barn in the front of my quilt. lol

    When I saw the fabric, I thought of denim. Maybe in a lighter denim, then a touch of red for accent.

    That might work NorseSal. I'm going to wash all of it I think and get rid of the scotchguard.
