    I personally don't think it's that bad, but you could always use it as backing for charity quilts.

    I like it. Give it to one of the ones here that is asking for it and just have them pay the shipping. You know what they say about ones trash is another......

    But I've reached a tote that looks like older fabric...from the 90's...

    And you know that saying "if the fabric is still ugly it means you haven't cut it small enough"?

    Well...I beg to differ...you couldn't possibly cut this stuff small enough...though I will try...

    And not only that...there are FOUR YARDS of this ugliness!!! LOL
    Beauty and ugly are in the eye of the beholder! If you can't think of anything to do with it, I can. Send it to me! froggyintexas

    In making charity quilts we inherited some fabric that was definitely not of my taste. However, cutting them into 2 1/2 inch strips and sewing them together with other things & cutting into blocks has taken the eye off of that fabric and was usable. As they say - beauty is in the eye of the beholder (LOL).... and for sure to each his own. Will be interesting to see what you do with it - or give it away. We didn't refuse any type of material and it's all been used. Good luck

    This fabric would be perfect for doing landscape fabric "paintings", especially if you fussy cut it.
