I love your quilt. Not everyone remembers that the original quilters used whatever fabric they had. Some made beautiful quilts from new fabric, but a lot of ladies made the quilts from the tattered clothing that had been worn by the family. The object was to stay warm. Had yours been a full size quilt, I know it would have kept someone very warm.

I like your creativity and sticking to an unusual type of fabric. There are beautiful upholstery and curtain fabrics out there and I have been reluctant to use them. Now, thanks to you, I am rethinking those negative thoughts. I have used them for other things before, and usually cut a small piece off to see if they shrink or the colors run if I wash them in the washer, and surprise! Most ravel like crazy but are very washable.

Thank you for the inspiration.
