And the border fabric on your Diamond Tile quilt is perfect for tying all the different fabrics together! Well done, You! The piano keys fabric on the right and under the others would be great for a bench covering. The black bars of your stair rail against the white wall suggests piano keys and that fabric would emphasize that graphic look and mimic the actual piano keys. I'll look forward to seeing what you choose!Terryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00446925005290915529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655771233639274287.post-61336845697937833852022-06-24T05:49:59.732-07:002022-06-24T05:49:59.732-07:00Your two quilts are wonderful!

We had a piano for years but sold it when we downsized. Interesting challenge about the bench and you have some good ideas! Don't count me in the fabric giveaway as I'm continuing in downsize mode! I hope you get out of your boot soon!

If it gets soiled, it will be easier to remove and wash. Just saying.

Unfortunately there was no one near where I live to teach me but my mother who wasn't interested. She had tried with her other children and failed so she didn't want to invest time with me. 🙄 Anywho! Here's what I suggest for the bench, since I know you love applique. Of course, you'll have to make it bigger. <br /> https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/425660602289346338/<br />Love, love, love the Primitive Gathering quilt. I've never work with wool so I can't help you there. The second quilt is a fun scrappy and happy quilt.

So best to wash gently in cold water, spin dry, and line dry (NO dryer). There are special soaps for quilts - Orvus is one.
