Gloria's Quilted slipcover

This couch was for my client Gloria...who is one of my favorite clients. The first time I met with her I was 6 months pregnant with my second baby, which was 8 years ago! I think we have slipcovered everything in her house...some of it twice. Couch, loveseat, chairs, parson chairs, ottomans, setee, cushions, and of course tons of pillows.

This couch was the first couch they had bought when they got married 30 years ago, she has it sitting on her wrap around porch. She's had quilts draped on it being held together with safety pins.

Finally she called me and wanted to make it permanent. She only had 2 queen size quilts...so I knew it would be tight. I picked up some cream canvas to use for the piping, decking, and on the bottom of the cushions. I had a 6" strip left and that was it.

I utilized the original quilt binding to be the end of the slipcover on the bottom next to the legs.
