Outstanding! I love stuff like this! recreating to make something new again or to just make it say " look at me"!

Great work!

I recovered our sofa once. It wasn't all that hard per se, but I would never have thought of quilting it that way. Super idea and super great job. It's a winner!

Love the couch. Looks like lots of work but it turned out beautifully.

I must admit that I am enjoying it!
AMAZING!! :thumbup: What a beautiful work of art you have there. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. It is so fun to see ideas that other's come up with.
:D :D :D :D
