I have to share a similar situation....I made a black and gray quilt for the bed in the computer room/guest room where we put guests coats when we have company. Problem is that our dog, Perry, a yellow lab/golden retriever, loves to sleep on the bed while we are working at the computer. What was I thinking making a black and gray quilt for her to lounge on!! I solved the problem with a sheet but then I couldn't enjoy the quilt.....soft clear plastic sheeting to the rescue!
Yes, it brings back the clear plastic slipcovers of the 50's, but Perry is happy! And I just remove it when company comes
