Well, It's quilted anyway

That quilt looks really nice on the fireplace. That's a great idea.
I had the same problem with a drafty fireplace that I didn't use. I solved it by having someone put insulation in the flue opening. There are no more drafts, and it can be removed in the future if someone else wants to use the fireplace for it's intended purpose.

We lived in a very old house once with a fireplace that was drafty and let bugs in in the summer as there was no draft. It was that old. My ex built a barrier of plywood held upright with angle braces and handles on the front to move it with. He was able to line the back with tin so we could even put it back in place after we had a fire and were ready to retire for the night. You could paint the plywood or cover it with your quilt. Don't put it in place after a fire unless you have it lined with metal though or you know the fire is completely out.
