As I was browsing a thrift store before picking up the kids from school yesterday....I came across a quilt that had been cut up into 2 pieces. Both pieces were $7 and with my usual decision making (meaning I have no idea what I might use them for but I will get them and figure it out later) I bought them and brought them home.
After washing and drying I did a zig zag stitch around both pieces. Light bulb moment- What if I wrap the quilts around my couch and chair.
It isn't permanent but I thought it was a cheap update. I am sure I will get tired of it soon so I will reuse the quilt pieces somewhere else or make something with them.

Very Clever and I like that they can still be reused for something else.

ReplyDeletequilts @ thrift stores always makes me wonder who made it...was it a gift...what's the story of the quilt?!?
I think it looks terrific!
ReplyDeleteI've done the same thing with one of our fugly couches around here.
Great job!
Have a wonderful Tuesday!

A great way to refresh your space! Love shopping the house. What a pretty blog - glad to find you! Thanks for visiting me too at Shine Your Light. :)
ReplyDeleteGood thinking! I think quilts are works of art anyway. You surely got your money's worth! Linda
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty colors! They were a great find. I like how you used them today. Isn't it so much fun to change things around and find a new place for them! I am the same way :)

I just love quilts and there are so many things you can do with them. 14 dollars is a great bargain. It looks really great!
