    Has anyone made a quilt with upholstery fabric? I saw some beautiful ones in a fabric store in Ohio. They were all done in squares.

    Craft items yes, but with the thickness of upholstery fabric, I wouldn't want to deal with the thickness from the 1/4" seams.

    Yes I have, I break all kinds of "quilting rules". As has already been mentioned prewash, wider seams, bigger pieces, and obviously machine piecing and quilting. The only pics I have are of my two most recent, they are meant for curtains. The quilts I've done are no longer w/ me but w/ friends and relatives.
