I made a homespun one with just 2 big pieces of fabric. I put ties along the top to tie it on the bar....very country. I use another bar behind it for a plastic liner.

I made one with a panel and coordinating fabric about twelve years ago, that I finally got to use after I painted my master bath in a soft pale mint. I liked it so much, I tracked down another panel to make a curtain. My bathroom window is two feet from the floor, right in front of the shower, so I needed to make it quilted for modesty, but I have a dark manufactured home, so I topped it with white and hung it low on the frame to optimize light. I love it. I finally have the perfect master bath for me.

I hope you turned it into a quilt when you were finished with it in the bathroom, beautiful...

Here is my post with a picture.

Here's a link to a free pattern at Connecting Threads: http://www.connectingthreads.com/Pat...__D991538.HTML

I saved this pattern as I want to make a shower curtain one day.

I was thinking of doing one with a store bought curtain and coordinate a large border with the quilt on my bed. I thought of making a row of these blocks, attaching with Velcro and when I switch to another quilt, I could change the bottom of the curtain to match that quilt. I will have to make sure I have enough fabric to do this.

I too made one out of sheets. I had a really old house that high ceiling and two long windows in the bath room. So I t took two lavender twin sheets, made a double ruffle on each one and also on the curtains with a valence for each. I guess you call them Pricilla. I even found some silk border to match with light green and a small print. Believe it or not I also found rugs to match, along with the towels and cloths. It probably sounds dorky now but at the time I was really proud of it. Back then I made all of my curtains. I had a 11 room house so that was a lot of curtains. LOL

I didn't serge my (don't have a serger) but I made a quilt top, backed it with fabric and "quilted" it enough to hold the back and front together, then put buttonholes at the top. Used it with a matching liner for YEARS.....
