    Thanks, Luv! I have two couches that are newish, that are upholstered in the color of blue jeans, that I really wish they were white!
    ....but but you have given me an idea. They are 3 cushy separate pillowbacks and have 3 separate cushions on them. Maybe I could find enough fabric or maybe stack and whack and assemble pieces of quilting to cover each piece of pillowback and make a fitted quilted throw for the bases?
