I disassembled it, cut it down, and with 2 cafe rod brackets that where sitting in my tool box, I put them to good use.
Oh, the wall paper behind it is from brown paper lunch sacks that I tore up and stuck to the wall.
That is such a cool idea for the wall!
Your quilt is lovely, and the story of its progress is very entertaining.
But, I really appreciated you pointing out the fine finish on your background wall.
I live in a bunkhouse and when I wanted to cover the sheetrock with "western" paneling, the only one I found that didn't look like everyone else's cost $63.00 a sheet and was out of stock!
Anyway, now that you shared, I know that someday I will have something to use the paper sacks I have been saving - - and, I will indeed have my "western" looking wall covering.
Congratulations on your UFO goal for May and thank you for filling in the little details. <wave>
