Oh, I know what you mean. I have a little collection them. I worry there won't be any whole table cloths left because they have become fashionable to cut up and repurpose.
Oh, yes, I have exactly the same problem. Those old beauties beg to be showcased but they make it difficult to cut into them. I don't think I could do. I've seen several quilts cut from old handkerchiefs, embroidered dressers scarves, and/or both. They get lost amongst the other beautiful vintage fabric contemporary to the old linens. I think they somehow need a perfect showcase, but I can never decide what it is.

I have cut into tray clothes and dressing table cloths, but not a table cloth yet.
Sometimes Plan Bs work out to be even better than Plan As. Good luck!
I hear you. You'll know just the right time to cut up that beautiful cloth.
I'm having issues cutting up some of my fabric right now. Fear of mis-cutting.
Go on!! You CAN do it, you CAN do it (I just wanna see what you're doing!!)
It is a very pretty table cloth.
