I am going to redo this chair that I picked up at a yard sale for $5. I was just going to sand it and paint it, then recover it. Then I had an AHA! moment. I remember seeing furniture that had been recovered in quilts and thought THATS what Im going to do. Heres the post about it http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-38832-1.htm Ive spend about 3 weeks looking online and in my books and magazines looking for the right pattern. Ive narrowed it down to these 3, Cathedral windows, the pineapple block or this one http://www.modabakeshop.com/search?q=1800%27s (finished size is 20 by 20 so I will have to make it a little bigger) I will be painting the chair a crisp white and thought about doing the quilt in black and whites. What are your thoughts on this? Different pattern, colors, both? Oh and anyone recognize the quilt on the bed?
