The fabric had been washed prior to my purchase. And I also washed it with a color catcher after getting it home. No problems at all with bleeding colors.

I use a layer of cotton batting and top it with thermoweb to replace the padding on my ironing board.

How about a valance for your window of the same fabric? Ta-Da, new room!

If I have enough fabric left over from the BOM, I will consider your suggestion pal.

Your cover looks great!
I bought a new cover a while back. Was doing some steam pressing and noticed my fabric looked funny. The cover has blead over on my fabric! You wouldn't think ironing board fabric would do that, but this sure did. It got returned in a hurry. Make my own from now on.
