A while back sofadoc posted about a chair he recovered using 7 different fabric types. It made me think of a project I've been working on for a long time, the quilted chair! I finally finished it after a 1 1/2 years working on it.

I've been saving fabric scraps for years to do this to a chair. This happens to be the first chair I ever recovered some 28 years ago. It was time for a redo.
I took scraps and quilted them into this using various types of quilting styles. Don't ask my why I did this it was just something in my head, scary I know.
The whole chair was made from left over scraps from various projects over the years, even the welting, I just pieces it together. One thing about quilted fabrics is they have challenges around curves and pleating!
Anyway, just thought I'd share.
That chair is way cool. Awesome job. Love it. :)

My mother-in-law is a big quilter. I just sent her a picture of it.
Nice job!
