    Look what I got for ten bucks!!

    I figured at this price, it'd make a neat Xkilt and not harm my sewing machine budget too much. I'm thinking pleated with the vertical red stripes showing.


    "Offered at a low opening bid, this auction is for 4-3/8 Yds x 54 inches wide of beautifully made, 83% Cotton, 17% Viscose woven and completely reversible material from Schumacher Greeff. Colors in olive and camel with light yellow gold and red accent.
    Pattern useable in either the vertical or horizontal direction and enough here for 10 chair seats upholstery.
    Value on this fabric at $38/yd.
    Treated to resist staining, soiling.
    New, Perfect Condition, and Smokefree.
    Suitable for side chair, chair seats, bedding accessory material, small window, cushions, pillows, othe projects."


    I strive to be the person that my little boy and my dog think I am and to live in a place where a chicken can cross the road without having it's motives questioned.

    Hmmh, I think that I would go for the cream(?) strip centered in the gray myself. But then I go for more muted colors.

    I got rid of that years ago.


    I'm sure I'll pin it up both ways and see which looks best. Hell, I've got to get a new sewing machine and finish the kilts I"ve got started now before I move on to this one.
