New use for Quilt
 
1 Attachment(s)
Yesterday my DH came into my studio and said he needed something to cover the pool table to keep the dust off of it. I didn't really want to make something out of the fabric on my shelves (not that I didn't have enough to use) so I asked him if he wanted to use one of our quilts. I picked out a "manly" looking quilt for his Man Cave. I like the way it looks. [ATTACH=CONFIG]514372[/ATTACH]

What a great way to have a quilt displayed and used!
I really like the arrangement of log cabin blocks on that quilt, it is one I haven't seen before.

Thank you, Rebecca. I made this quilt from scraps in my stash.

Cute quilts always have purpose.

I hope those men find a place other than the floor to put it while playing! Such a nice quilt.

keep the dust off? Well it's a great item to do that. Great quilt!

lynnie 03-21-2015 03:16 PM

Pretty and practical.

elly66 03-22-2015 03:53 AM

Looks like it belongs there. Great idea.

Tweety2911 03-22-2015 04:17 AM

It looks great on the pool table and adds lots of charm to the Man Cave!

twinkie 03-23-2015 02:49 AM

Very clever idea.

jmoore 03-23-2015 02:52 AM

perfect solution... I love your log cabin quilt and colors.

He loves it.

RedGarnet, he does keep it off the floor. He puts it one of his pinball machines. Guess I trained him pretty well. LOL

Elaine433 03-23-2015 04:01 AM

Looks like it was made for that very purpose. Very pretty quilt.

ghquilter53 03-23-2015 04:15 AM

This is a new way to use a quilt that I have seen. Very smart and looks wonderful.

coopah 03-23-2015 04:55 AM

I agree. Never would have thought of using one for a cover. It looks great !!

carolynjo 03-23-2015 06:45 AM

A beautiful quilt and a clever solution to your Dh's dilemma.

grandmaemma 03-23-2015 08:02 AM

Perfect!!!!!

Caswews 03-23-2015 08:03 AM

Very pretty and great idea !!

javin22 03-23-2015 09:40 AM

Wow that is a great idea and the quilt is just beautiful. And you get to display it all the time. It is a win win!

MargeD 03-23-2015 09:49 AM

Great idea, he gets to cover his pool table and you get to display one of your quilts, which I like very much by the way.

matraina 03-23-2015 01:17 PM

I do, too.

ccthomas 03-23-2015 05:45 PM

Nice of you to share your beautiful quilt.

captlynhall 03-23-2015 06:59 PM

Great idea. And the 'manly' quilt fabrics work just fine.

grammyto2 03-23-2015 07:42 PM

I think hubby just wanted to look at your nice quilt in his cave. Good job.,

Annz 03-23-2015 07:43 PM

Yes that looks manly and it does the job.

quiltswithdogs 03-23-2015 10:18 PM

Beautiful! Great idea!
A long table runner can keep the dust off an electric keyboard's piano keys, as there's no cover to pull down.

AlaskaAlice 03-24-2015 01:14 PM

Wonderful! Looks really cool as a dust cover!! Good Job!

mjhaess 03-25-2015 09:55 AM

Looks great...good idea...

Lauriegriz 06-14-2015 06:28 PM
