This is a piece of 100% cotton (heavy almost like upholstery) fabric from Lauren Hancock for Waverly. This is a gingham check pattern in reds and cream. The blocksa re small and measure 1/4 inch x 1/4 inch. This measures 56 in wide x 1 1/2 yards long This was purchased as part of a larger lot at auction and I've no use for it. I also don't know the history. Feel free to make a reasonable offer.
