Several years ago I bought a chair and chair pad from IKEA. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr...93/#/S59887511 It looked boring.

I made a regular quilt. You can see it in this old post. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...s-t192475.html

I removed the chair pad from the chair frame, (they are sold separately). I took the quilt and folded it around the chair pad. I did not attach the quilt in any way to the chair pad. When I put the chair pad back on the chair frame, the chair frame held the quilt in place. I sit in the chair frequently and the quilt stays in place. It was such an easy project.

I hope this is clear, if not I can try to take some more pictures of it. Let me know.
