Hi Everyone, I'm a new member, and have been trying to find out if there is anyone who has heard of a quilt made with old shoulder pads. I did see something one time and darn if I can find anything again. If I can't find out something-I've got lots of old shoulder pads I've been saving for years. Hope someone out there can help. Thanks Waggally

Welcome from Central California.

Shoulder pads? I have some but all I've used them for is making bustles for smaller Victorian Dolls, and putting them in men's shirts that I get for myself. Never heard of a shoulder pad quilt, but why not? We make them from puffy circles, so this one should be warm and comfy. I'd think they would be sewn to a background fabric, maybe a top also since they don't usually have a decorative pattern on them.

Keep us informed as to your progress, this sounds interesting.

Thank you Ramona. I'll give it my best shot. Maybe someone else has some suggestions too. June

I don't know about a quilt, but I found this interesting thread on uses for shoulder pads, including how to make an angel from them:

Thank you I'll check it out. June

I have heard of them, they were like a puff or bisquit quilt. The ones I saw, they folded the pads in half into a triangle like shape. :D:D:D

I like the idea. Welcome from Washington.

Thank you. sounds like something I could use in checking on the bisquit quilt.I have not heard of either. June

I guess I am a little late but I make pot holders with my shoulder pads. Most have a straight edge on one side. I bump the 2 straight edges together and sew the 2 together, cover with fabric and quilt as desired.
