Default Using quilts as tablecloths :)

This past Sunday, we had a 70th birthday celebration for my quilting bestie, Clara. We had a bbq in our backyard and I used quilts for tablecloths. Everyone loved the look and I just wanted to share with you how it looked.

The quilts look so nice on the tables. I have tried to use mine on my dining room table a few times but just can't bring myself to do it. My dh even said are you sure you want to put that on the table? I guess I wasn't because each time I take them off! Good for you!!

Wow it looks really nice. I wonder how stains etc. worked out. That is one of the main reasons it keeps me back from trying this. I often do hang quilts out when there is a social occasion for a quick décor. Happy 70 th birthday Clara!

Looks great and your quilts are beautiful. A very nice gesture for your quiltling buddy. LOL I think I would have had to cover them with plastic.......

What a great idea although I would hate to have something spill on them. Quilts make everything look prettier. Great job!
