    It looks imported. How about a big floor pillow?

    I've seen something similar in our tourist shops and I think they were being used as a sarong. Pretty

    I love that - have been wanting something that exudes India. Does anyone have an Indian style pattern or a suggestion of where to look?

    I might sell it but I also think it would make a great table topper or wholecloth wallhanging, just add borders to either and quilt each design on its own.

    CayinSC, I have this piece. It is 4 yards, but it is polyester or a blend from the feel of it. Also, selvage to selvage is only 36". I am including a photo of the label, tho I have no idea what it says. Maybe someone here on the board can tell us what it is for and how to use it. LOL. This appears to be sold in this single 4 yard unit by the way it's marked.
    My guess is that it's for an item of clothing, tho. This is the closest I am to something from India, and it could be from several other places, LOL.

    the front/top

    the other end of the unit

    I think it would make a great tablecloth quilt.

    I agree with most everyone else, use it as the center of a quilt and add to it or do some applique. Great find.
