I like that fabric looks really good on the ironing board I'm way past due for a cover,fabric is not garish at all

Your ironing board cover came out nice. I like the fabric too.

Well believe it or not Sheri, I am using some of the fabric to make a sampler quilt. Someone will love it and the colors. Maybe even me when I am done with it.

Love it. I was going to say a stack and whack would be beautiful in this fabric.

that looks great..any one have an idea on how to make a new padding for the top? mine is so thin now that I get marks in my fabric when I iron on it.

I use an old mattress pad to make new pads for my ironing board. I also use drop cloth fabric to make new ironing board covers. These are held on the board with a draw string so I can take them off and wash them when they get starch build up.

I thought I would post pics of the first two sampler blocks that I am making with this fabric for the QB 2013 BOM. I know this fabric, Patch of Roses by Hampton Print Works, was curtain or drapery fabric but it will be happy to live out it's life in a quilt.

What a great idea! I know what you mean...my new cover is already stained and looks nasty!

It's very cute! Did you test it to make sure the inexpensive colors won't run if you steam something?
