Have you ever tried to take a pic of your bathroom? Well this is all I could get of my shower curtain. 9 patch squares are nine inch finished, set on point. Used flannel as a batting and meander machine quilted in large setting squares and triangles as well as yellow 9 patch squares. Rest of motif in bath is my Dutch Delft accessories.
|
How beautiful is that!!! Are those yellow blocks alternated w/the blue blocks? The camera shows them as being tan blocks. Anyway, I bet that looks great in there w/ all the Delft accessories! How striking! 9P is my fave for sure!! You did great!!
|
Yes--The "tan" blocks are a soft bright buttery yellow. Glad you like it.
|
makes for a cozy bathroom very nice
|
I love it!!! I love the design and the fabrics :D :D :D
|
Very original!! Great!
|
Very pretty.
|
I love it. Looks great :thumbup:
|
Very nice. I love your curtain.
|
Beautiful!
|
Thanks all. Think I used 30 9 patch blocks--dimensions somewhere around 72 x 80 inches. When I get tired of it I can clip off the hanging ties and use is as a regular summer quilt!
|
Oh so very pretty. I love blue and yellow. Great shower curtain.
|
Thats a great looking curtain!
|
What a lovely shower curtain! Thanks for your inspiration. I have been planning a Christmas shower curtain for a while. Now, maybe I will get it done.
|
Nice!
|
Nice idea!
|
My two favorite color combinations are blue and yellow. Always sunny and bright! Good job with the curtain.

i love the dutch delft fabric...being a good dutch girl who collects it...
do you remember who makes it... any info would be greatly apprciated... i can see all my aunts (all dutch girls too) needing new table runners... thanks for any info you have! |
That's really pretty!
|
Wow.
Is this regular cotton fabric then, not the plasticky shower curtain stuff? I've never seen a quilted shower curtain and would love one... Doesn't it get mouldy with the moisture in the bath? |
Hey thanks for all the complements! To answer some questions:
1. bjnicholson--Of course it's okay to bookmark 2. dljennings--I bought this some time ago, I think at Joann's and it's actually more like Asian porcelain than Delft--FYI Delft is a old (and I mean old) replication of Oriental dishware! No info on the selvage though. I'll PM you. 3. salmonsweet--Yes 100% cotton. I do use a vinyl liner on the inside of the tub to keep the curtain dry. LOL--I just checked and no sign of mold or much dirt. It's been hanging since we moved into our new home Easter of 2007 and has never been washed. I have no window in my bathroom and this really brightens up the room--Yup just like blue and yellow brighten up a room. |
That's very pretty :)
|
Very pretty. I want to make my own shower curtain as well. This is very nice and love the colors.

Hi my goodness that is one thing I would never have thought could be quilted!! That is soooo clever. It is gorgeous and so inspiring.. thanks for posting. ciao ciao |
This is just gorgeous. Bet it looks wonderful in person. Thanks you for sharing.
|
I choose the 9 patch because it's easy--I couldn't see spending a lot of time on a shower curtain! And it's dramatic when set on point. My advice is choose something simple and let the fabric speak. Thanks again for the kind words.

I love it! You did a beautiful job and I love the colors.
I also made a quilted shower curtain for the bathroom and you are right I could not get a great picture either lol. Hugs April |
I made small runners for the top of the commode, just strips of different materials, not fancy, but ads some color.. :lol:
|
Did you actually quilt it, with batting? Or is it just the quilt top?

Donna in Mo--I used a very lightweight flannel in the middle-It helps give stability to the curtain and FMQ on my sewing machine. |
That is so cool. I will have to try it.

Of course! On the first page are directions--sort of. It's a 9 inch 9P so strips were 3.5" cuts for quick piecing. There are 30 9P blocks set on point alternated with 9" squares. First border is 1.75" cut/ second border 2.75" cut. Lightwt flannel (really cheap Walmart type) in the middle with a standard cotton backing.
Good luck and share with us when you get it done! |
