I don't know what I'm going to do with them, but I buy tea towels compulsively in museum gift shops when we're in England. Most are linen or cotton/linen, stiff and easy-to-wrinkle, but they're a relatively cheap way to bring fabric home. (Liberty prints cost a fortune, and most of the other fabric I've seen I can buy here.) Someone in my quilt group suggested I use them on quilt backs. This is but a sampling of the ones in my stash.
