I needed a small amount of fabric to match my new quilt for bed's wooden foot board to protect from dog scratches.  
This valance is exact fabric of that quilt.  size is perfect as is, or will allow future plans to add batting and quilt for additional durability.    

Pros: Matches other decor, well made, easy care, economical. 
Cons: If using as valance, might be a bit flimsy--but for my use is perfect
