What is this odd piece of fabric?
It sounds like a bolster case to me. I have two of them.
One long bolster the size of two pillows was used under the pillows on
the double bed. The open ends make it easy to draw the bolster through.
Mine have white work embroidered on the ends.

I found this piece of fabric in my mother's things after she died.
It's a seamless tube of white woven material, 4 feet long and about 18"
wide when flattened out. Each end has a scalloped, tatted edge.
I can't imagine what this is. Are there any antique textile experts
who could help me identify this piece?
TIA
