Need a new place to hang a quilt?
How about............
the bathroom!
I was trying to do a low cost bathroom makeover here. I don't want to pull the countertops or cabinets yet. Haven't done the light fixtures or sink. But some new towels and new shower curtain were just what it needed..........and a new coat of paint too! I couldn't find a shower curtain I loved, so I had to make a quilt with some FABRIC I love. The other requirement was working with this TEAL countertop that my mom put in in the 90s. It went with lovely cranberry and teal floral wallpaper, and linoleum to match. We have since put in tile, but the counters had to stay for now. Good thing TEAL has made a comeback lately, with its new companion, RED.The other thing I have been thinking of are new ideas of places for quilts in my home. I already have a throw for the couch. I don't have sprawling wall spaces available. So I decided a shower curtain would be a great place. Maybe a weird idea, and I know..........the boys MAY ruin it with their hands and whatever else they do in there. But, that is OK. I love it. And I think it is safer than on their BEDs! This was my first time doing some straight line quilting. I really like the effect.
So here are the pictures. Just finished up the binding today, clipped it up, wiped the mirror for a picture (and the counters, and the toilet), and ta-daaa!

I found some great clips on ebay that are meant for curtains. They have the ring with a dangling claw clip that holds very well. The weight of the quilt seems to be doing great, and I clipped it right with the plastic liner behind.

I LOVE the idea of a quilted shower curtain. I really like the fabric you chose too. It goes great with the counter and everything.
