    Default A bed room curtain quilt!

    This little lady brought me some tops she made out of her old bedroom curtains. Said she wanted to give her kids all a quilt for their campers. She thought they would like something made from the curtains that had hung in the bedrooms for years. So, she stitched them up in different ways and brought them to me and asked me to quilt them. Here is the third one. I've already sent two or three home with her. She loves them. Just goes to show that it doesn't take a whole lot to make some people happy. What do you think?

    I think it is a great idea. I still remember the curtains that hung in my bedroom when I was a kid (the wallpaper, too).

    Her version is very pretty. The drapes that hung in my bedroom were fiberglass. Makes me itch just thinking of a quilt made from those!

    She had good taste in curtains... glad nothing is left of the curtains from my childhood bedroom.
