I would love to find some fabric like this to make some throw pillows from for my living room. I could probably find an old, holey (NOT holy) coverlet at an antique store, but it would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of my budget.
In the past, I have purchased old feed sacks that are torn, grease-stained or otherwise ruined, and made some pretty cute pillows out of them. I guess I am really into recycling!
Overshot coverlets are a perfect excuse to learn how to weave..
