My DH used to play golf constantly and was always purchasing golf towels in various sizes from the places he played. On a cleaning binge, we found about 50 of these in all sizes and various weights of terry cloth.

I was thinking about making a quilt out of them, using a serger and feature the embroidered logos. I didn't plan on backing it because they are so thick. Most of them are velour cut on one side and loopy terry on the other.

Has anyone else ever done this?

No, but it would make a great beach blanket!

Sounds like a great idea. IMHO, I would at least put a backing so cover up the seams. Can't wait to see what you do with it. Good luck.

I have seen one! you can serge it and no need for abacking.
You could also cut out the logo's and use them for a more traditional quilt.

Sounds like a great idea.

My husband collects golf balls, he has a logo ball from EVERY course he has ever played at!

My hubby golfs and that is a splendid idea.

What a great idea. I have never made one but I bet he would love it.

i think it would make a FABULOUS quilt! with the serged edges and with the terry/velor it will wash up so soft and fluffy! it could wind up being one of your favorite spring/fall quilts...not heavy but warm enough...and oh so cuddly! :)
