    Outstanding! I love stuff like this! recreating to make something new again or to just make it say " look at me"!

    Great work!

    I recovered our sofa once. It wasn't all that hard per se, but I would never have thought of quilting it that way. Super idea and super great job. It's a winner!

The project took on a life of it's own...I had so many hexagons leftover from the quilt, I quilted covers for the couch cushions, then the arms of the couch looked sad so I quilted them too...and so goes for the front of the couch and by the time I was finished, the whole couch was quilted.... I must admit that I am enjoying it!
    AMAZING!! :thumbup: What a beautiful work of art you have there. Thank you so much for sharing with all of us. It is so fun to see ideas that other's come up with.
    :D :D :D :D
