Blue Monday - Re-use for quilted blue comforter

http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/

Miss Sally has a great place to visit on Mondays-please check out Blue Mondays if you haven't already. I didn't think I would have a post for today but my re-using juices have kicked in again.

I purchased this twin size comforter at a church rummage sale several years ago.  Not because I had a use for it, I just loved the fabric.

My sunroom needs light and airy fabrics so I thought of this quilt I had stored in the "junk-over abundance-what am I ever going to use this for" room.  Dosen't everyone have one of these?

I also have in my sunroom one of those easy chairs that our hubbies cannot part with.  I thought WOW that would look good covering the existing fabric.

This also has a reverse side with just the stripes.

Have a wonderful week.

  4. You made a smart move when you bought that quilt. I have so many but still want all I see. I notice a change in your font. How did you do this?

  6. Ann, thanks I will try to get brave enough to try it. I am always afraid I will mess up something, I sure would do not know how to fix it. Suzanne usually makes changes for me.
