Weatherproof fabric for stadium blanket
Has anyone made a quilt for outdoor use? It will be used during all kinds of cold and rainy weather and I would like to make a patterned quilt using musical instruments on one side and the weatherproof fabric on the outside, but I'm not sure of what type of fabric would work best. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Jo-Ann's and Walmart carry that "rubberized" fabric that is used for baby diapers covers and changing pads--and you could use a solid. Or, what about tarp? I saw an article in a quilting magazine about a woman that uses different colored tarps(I've only noticed blue, but she seems to have found many different colors) to make up the top and probably the back to. just used a bigger needle and thicker thread.

Odif manufacturer of 505 spray make a liquid you can paint on any fabric to make it waterproof, otherwise you could use the plastic coated fabric you can get in the home furnishing fabric section of Joanns. I've used it for outdoor furniture cushions.
