I didn't really want to cut it up but wonder how long I will have to wait for the right person to come along, as happens quite often to me at the moment I am paying too much for really nice fabrics and thought that cushions might earn me a little bit out of it, especially as they are apparently very popular at The Dairy House Costume & Textile Day, for which I need some super duper things!Trixie@ the vintage bothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05576556635216603744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874953037760719965.post-68060294284216889472011-02-22T14:38:59.491+00:002011-02-22T14:38:59.491+00:00I agree with Viv and Hen.

I agree with others' comments, that it would be better to try and keep it as a quilt, but reduce the size by cutting off the damaged section.

The piecing goes right to the edge of each block which means you'd cut off the points of the design if you cut it up. Also, if the blocks are on point, you are not going to be able to make a cushion which sits square and with the design upright. Jayne's idea is good though, to maybe make it a smaller quilt if you can, depending on the damage and where it is (smallest quilt tends to be cot size, approx. 40" x 48"). That said, you may be better to try to sell it with the damage, to someone who either likes it as it is or has the skills to mend it. (That saves you the sewing!!) <br />Hen xHenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785129568184134280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874953037760719965.post-52566633515560778962011-02-22T13:24:29.788+00:002011-02-22T13:24:29.788+00:00I'd be tempted to just reduce the size by remo...I'd be tempted to just reduce the size by removing the damaged area & make it into a smaller quilt - either a lap quilt or for a child's bed.<br />Jayne (throwing a spanner in the works!)Country Cottage Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09183233483232008162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-874953037760719965.post-30254093968507883872011-02-22T13:07:06.330+00:002011-02-22T13:07:06.330+00:00Oh Tracey...it's a beautful quilt.
