Hey bibbitybob,
Some really nice fabrics there. I really like the one with the blue background in the first photo. Great bargains, well spotted!

Patchwork wall? WOW, that sounds interesting, can you explain more please - looking forward to photos!

Vintage pleasure and Icandream have both done fantastic patchwork walls - links to theirs here:

As I am in a rented house so I can't paint/wallpaper but they inspired me to do similar with a canvas here:

Bit late as I was out all night, but thought I'd drop in with the bits I bought from the car boot yesterday morning...

Fat quarters -



Patchwork style double quilt cover - £1! My kitty cat has taken a shine to this...



Single quilt cover - £1



Pillow cases - 50p pair



Most of these are going to be chopped up so I can use the fabric in my work, so bargainous.

Great car boot finds! I have the quilt cover in the 2nd photo, I have it on my bed at the moment! Wish I'd got mine for £1 though!

Somebody mentioned they'd like so see all the before and after pictures together so I thought I'd compile them into one post. I've only scanned through the thread really quickly, just looking for photos, so if I've missed your makeover I apologise. It's nothing personal! I know some people have linked to photos on their blog but I've only added the photos that are actually on this thread because it would take me forever to read through all the links too! Feel free to pm me with any makeovers you want adding!
This is a really, really lonnnnnnnng post! :eek: Grab yourself some supplies and prepare to scroll!
