Looks like Lisa and I have the same idea. Made mine about 5 years ago. Here's my link:

I am going to use flannel in place of batting and LA it with a meander, I dont want the quilt seams to start to sag and make the shower curtain lose its shape. I may sew a pocket on the back of the top boarder and hang it like any other rod pocket curtain, I really am not a fan of those shower curtain hooks. I am thinking about making 2 panels so that they hang on each side instead of a wide curtain that needs to be pulled open and closed..

The mother of a good friend made one for her. The major part was a heavy weight muslin. At the bottom , about 18" or a little more, she appliqued dresden plates. Yes she quilted them.
It was gorgeous.

I made on several years ago - used light weight batting and put tabs at the top like in the picture. When I redecorated I merely took the tabs off ( I had put them on after quilt was done so they were easy to take off) and I had a very pretty lap quilt.

I would definitely line it so you won't have any raw edges out in the open. I would use something light weight for the lining, maybe even another shower curtain, that way you will have the basic size. You won't want to use any batting as that will make it too heavy, especially for a tension rod. Yes, on the quilting, that way you can keep basic quilt traditions. You can get as fancy as you want with the stitching, don't limit yourself to STID. If you don't use batting, STID will become invisible.

I made one to match the two stripes of mosaic tile in my shower - bought a plain white cotton shower curtain for less than $7 and appliqued a 6" stripe of 1" mosaic tiles onto it. I do use a clear vinyl shower liner.

I found a pattern that I really liked and made one. I just did the top and use a shower (plastic) curtain on the back. They are in two peices so that if need be can take them off and wash them seperately.

Several years ago I made a scrappy top, only, and didn't line it because I thought that might make ironing a problem when it was washed. So I zigzagged all the seams, which wasn't too bad because the pieces were postcard size. I put interfacing in the top and made buttonholes to match the holes in plastic shower curtain liners.
