    I saw the coolest cloth shower curtain at Wal mart for 14.00 - it is 70 by 72 - I love the colors; design and the feel of the material - all I would have to do is remove the plastic liner by cutting from the top.....

    have I lost my mind?

    I think you are very creative not crazy. Just check the quality of the fabric 1st to be sure you do want to work with it. Please keep us posted.

    Not crazy at all. I just cut mine apart to use for the backing of a quilt. Great minds think alike.

    You're just thinking 'outside the box' (or shower in this case)

    I was looking at it and thought it would be a great quilt pattern

    I think it's a great idea, love the curtain!

    I did it in reverse, made a quilt top (except I serged my seams and also reinforced with seam tape as I went) and used it for a cloth shower curtain with a separate liner. I couldn't find what I liked in the stores, it came out great and I'm still using it gosh, 7 or 8 yrs later!
