It's in good shape -- physically, I think it would survive
hand-washing. I don't want to do it if the dyes will run. I'd like to
display it -- but I don't know if I'd *use* it or not.

it (and think I'd gone to heaven)

The sheet set shown in the third pic is not the one I already used I can
still make something out of that.
I think the sheets would make a lovely kimono, if you really want to cut
them up.

Perhaps a quilted petticoat, 1750-75 to wear at home with your
caraco
I bought the set from Bed, Bath Beyond a few years ago when I was with my
highschool sweetheart still, My husband and I have a queen size bed and even
if we had a king I would not want to use the same bedding as with my ex,
this is why I want to cut them up. Everyone is giving me wonderful ideas
While we're talking about Old Quilts (tm) ...
I have a quilt that my grandmother made in the early 30s -- it's never
been washed, and I want to get it cleaned and preserved. (*giggle*
If it was photographs, I'd know what to do, but I digress ...)
It's edged in *red* so I really don't want

Really?
Have a badly flea-infested dog sleep in them for a few nights, then send
them to your ex as a gift. Dog fleas will bite humans if no dog is
available.

Maybe a Persian coat?
Can you remove the quilting without leaving marks or permanent stitch holes?
With satin, you are looking more at Renaissance fudging then Medieval,
especially shiny satin. Your also looking at winter attire with this satin
as it does not breath. Plus you should not make
A persian coat might work. It is a fairly thick comforter it would be
warm. It is a little shiny though. I just know I am never going to use it
again as a bedspread and thought I could put it to use.
Well thank you for the ideas, and if anyone thinks of anything else by all
means please share
Hello everyone,
I don't really post to this list very often but I was wondering if anyone
had any ideas on what I could breate out of a bedding set I have, it's a
Green Satin King Siz set. I've already used the sheets to make a simple
kirtle. My problem is that I'm not exactly sure what to make

Might make a nice 18th c quilted petticoat...
