What a wonderful way to make it into a cushion. :applesauce:

It's much more robust than you might imagine. It's cotton, after all, and can be washed, etc, easily enough. Also if someone snags anything, it's relatively simple to repair. (Not like lace, for example, which would bring an automatic death sentence... non-violently, of course.)
