I am getting a new recliner and my DH has very oily hair. I want to quilt a "head protector" to throw over the top of the recliner that can just be thrown in the wash. The recliner is beige so I thought beiges, browns and a few creams for the color. Any ideas on a pattern I should use?

Good idea to put something on that area right away. It's quite surprising how much we shed.
I put microfiber towels on the fabric arms of the recliner we bought - and they do get dirty!
They do look a bit dorky, but they do help keep the arms cleaner.

just looked up "macassar" - it's a kind of oil, that was used, especially by men, to make one's hair shine and lay flat.
so "anti-macassar" does make sense!
Never could figure out how a doily, with all the holes in it, was much good for keeping the upholstery oil free.

I need to make some for the armrests of my mother's old furniture that I have. The old fabric is so itchy that my arms get very sore in the summer without sleeves! I started to make 1/4 of a lap quilt for each arm but it was too pretty so I made it all! I also have a quilted block on the back of my recliner! Felt kinda "dirty" so I'm glad others need them, too!
