lizziesgirl Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I was wondering if you make a quilt for a shower curtain, do you do anything special to it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hang a double rod with a plastic liner on the inside? How will you hang the quilted one--will you make tabs for the top or ....? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I've done it both ways with a tab top or with larger button holes and reinforced them with a bit of plastic on the back sides....both ways work very well. With the tab top I always like a separate valance to hide the tabs....it just had a more finished looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lizziesgirl Posted September 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I was definately going to have double curtains and had thought of the large button holes but I really like your idea Bonnie with the tabs and the separate valance. I didn't know if I should use a special batting or no batting or how to handle that aspect of the quilt, being that it will be in a humid area. I want to do a quilt with magnolia's and not sure of the design. I have a neat paper pieced magnolia pattern that I could make and put in the center. Then I just got in the quilt shop today a magnolia print from Benartex. It's wonderful. So still in the thinking stages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Sheryl...the couple that I did for customers were of course in Reno, where there isn't much humidity, but still used the very thin Thermore from Hobbs....its a very light weight batting to use in clothing and new born blankets....but its a very good batting, and doesn't need a ton of stitches in it. I think the stitches can go out 8 - 10 inches...as its a poly, it shouldn't mildew or mold and if the bathroom has a good vent you shouldn't have any trouble.

Judi Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 The only thing I want to add was about the batting being Poly too... I have done one that was in a Thimbleberries pattern book for a customer. She was going to put the string / ties on the top after / into the binding.
