humor in my old curtaind
 

I made this quilt for a co-worker and when I had to select a back for it, I wanted green . Well last week I took down my old curtains and washed and folded them and put them on the shelf with my fabric. Well I thought they matched and when I took them apart it fit perfect. So I laugh when I showed it to family members and they didn't get it I had to tell them it was our old curtains.

This is the second time I used old curtains when my sister was pregnant she was complaining she had no clothes so when I took down my living room curtains I made her a summer dress. When she saw it she said I'll never wear that out of the house I said what ever. The next week I was at the mall and ran into my sister with the dress on, it was well worn. And then she gave it to a friend after she was done with it.

The quilt looks great!

Your story reminded me of the old Carol Burnett skit "Went with the Wind"-- "I saw it in the window, and I just couldn't resist!" :)

Just in case you've missed this classic (the scene I referred to started at 13:13): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjUYw2HKB7o

The backing is just perfect for the quilt.

You obviously have great taste in curtains!! Love your quilt and the backing!

Nice quilt! Great story! Very Sound of Music like, too.

Really striking colors together. Very productive use of available materials as well.

Very pretty & a great way to recycle.
