After being skunked during the standard thift store rounds, I was headed home when I saw an estate sale. I ended picking up a huge tapa cloth - 14 feet by 6 feet! The (previous) owner was apparently some interior decorator, who picked up this piece in Hawaii for a project that was subsequently canceled.

The cloth is so large, I didn't have room in my house to photograph the entire thing.

Any suggestions on what to do with a giant tapa? :)

The cloth is actually folded lengthwise. Imagine this twice as wide.

This cloth has a really nice pattern.
