Well, as soon as I saw it I thought of Dorothy or Auntie Em, then when I saw that freeby4me had the same thought, I found it funny. Sorry you didn't.

I found it funny, but I also wanted a real idea ( I don't think it's wide enuf for a tablecloth).

I save all of my "ugly" fabric and make "ugly" or "crazy" quilts with it. It's actually kind of amazing how cool a quilt can look when all of the fabric used is ugly. :

I already have a quilt going, I was thinking of using the ug for the backing but I'll still have a lot left....

Good luck with whatever you do choose to do.

I am glad I didn't open this post at my best friends house. It matches her family room furniture to a T. I almost spit my coffee when I opened the link and saw that material. Keep in mind though she loves the color green. Sorry I don't have any suggestions except maybe a doggie bed?

I only have fish!

But that was a good idea.

Now come on, no material is ugly! Use it for pillows, placemats, napkins, why not curtains. I would make grocery tote bags out of it. That is what I use my "ugly" material for. Line them with the same material. Make a bunch and give them for Christmas presents, tell them to save some oil in the making of the plastic bag and the enviroment. The bags are easy to carry and they are washable. Make sure to wash material first for shrinkage. I think your material is "beautiful". Have fun!!!!!
