Patchwork Quilt Chair
Patchwork Quilt Chair is made using antique quilts. It’ was upholstered with several older quilts using the best parts.
My Mommie-in-law is a creative talented lady:) She sews, does all kinds of needlework even cross stitch, makes jewelry, creates artwork and quilts and that is to just name a few and if its out there, she has done it:). If I followed her around everyday, I could gather enough material for posts for 10 blogs, lol. She always comes up with unusual ideas and has the talent to carry them out.
About a month ago I walked into her home and I saw this awesome chair sitting proudly in her dinning room. The quilt on the back of the chair and the cushion came from an old family quilt that I had brought to her. Yes, I knew she would do something awesome with it but I would have never thought of this.
She had purchased old quilts in an estate sale and the quilts were very worn in some spots but in good shape in others. She utilized the best of the quilts and had this chair upholstered with them. Isn’t it gorgeous?
Now for the Patchwork Chair before pictures
In this photo, you can see the antique quilt in the right top corner. Yes, I believe this chair deserves a name. I don’t think my Mommie-in-law would mind if I named it for her. I always think of sunbonnets, sunflowers and American Quilts when I hear the name Hannah.
So here’s Hannah!! Isn’t she just beautiful!!
What a huge difference! Such a great idea to repurpose the quilts!
Wow !! That is lovely, Evelyn – what a change. She is definitely very talented 🙂 Tell her I am blown away …
Wow! Very nice.
This is totally unique and fabulous. Bet she could win an award somewhere for this one. Thanks for the cool share. Makes me think of traveling every time I look over. And that's a good thing. 🙂
She is sitting on a goldmine – literally. Send her to me to recover my chairs.

This is such a good idea. Easy memento chair people could make with an idea like this!
Beautiful — a unique use for quilts! Took a creative mind to come up with the idea!

What a GORGEOUS chair – would have never thought of using quilting – but it such an original one of a kind chair now –
Really beautiful!!!
this is amazing! My mom use to use quilts to make pillows out of and it's hard to see them cut up. But when they are no longer usable as intended, it's a great way to recycle. Thanks for linking with me.
Beautiful!! I love it! You did a wonderful job.
Thanks so much for linking up at Artsy Corner. Hope to see you again this week! 🙂
That is beautiful! I love that idea.
That chair is gorgeous!! What a great idea! I want her to come help me!!! Seriously…what a cool idea!
What a beauty! I've never seen a chair covered with quilts, but it makes perfect sense! LOL! 🙂 It looks so cozy!
I have a chair that has this shape and is in need for a re-do! What a great idea!
Fabulous idea, and it looks awesome!
Debbie 🙂
That's incredible! My step-mom's mother is the EXACT same way! She can do anything! Thanks for linking up to the Craft Yourself Crazy link party! 🙂

I love this. Did you reupholster yourself (or herself?) or did you send it to a shop. I have wanted to learn how to reupholster for a long, long time!
Just featured this great posts…too good not to share!
