This is the COOLEST THING EV...Yes, label: Coolness. This is the COOLEST THING EVER. Well, equal to all other coolest things.<br /><br />Circa 1985, I worked for an Interior Design company that specialized in high-end homes and office buildings of all sorts. One client had a couch worth more than my house. And the rug!!!<br /><br />The rug looked a lot like this. And the fabric? It was wool yard goods. HEAVEN.<br /><br />I have a stash of 2 boxes full o'wool coats, all in "my" colors. Mostly teals, black, burgundy, magenta, gray. I had pictured myself fulling the fabrics in washer/dryer, praying that they came out about the same thickness, and then cutting into 4" squares and hand-quilting them with flat sides together like a baseball is seamed.<br /><br />This is even cooler. Now I wonder if the coat fabrics may be too thick for this method, but maybe not if the strips are cut thin enough.<br /><br />In my spare time?<br /><br />Oh, that client's rug? About half the price of my house. Yeah.ColorJoy LynnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238476918178854398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25322956.post-12454018599363591822011-05-10T19:04:48.776-04:002011-05-10T19:04:48.776-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.ColorJoy LynnHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03238476918178854398noreply@blogger.com
