In my wanderings I have come across several AMAZING old quilts that were handsewn, beautiful, unique, and....FALLING APART! It always makes me a little sad, because I wonder if one day that will me MY quilts. I've never purchase one of these un-loved quilts but after seeing Terri's post, I wish I had.
Terri from over at Cherished Treasures has the perfect solution for those tattered quilts. She turns them into AMAZING throw pillows. Check these out:
Aren't they amazing. I know next time I come across a tattered quilt, I will think a little more creatively. Thanks, Terri, for this wonderful idea!!

what a amazing idea. I have a old quilt I keep on the back of my couch. It has a hole in it. This is a smart idea. i could not bring myself to throw it away and now know what to do with it
If you ever do it, I''d love to see those pillows!!
i did a trunk show on my blog featuring projects from 'cutter quilts'
