22.80 DKK = 4.19821 USD

A little while ago I was in IKEA and saw some great fabrics I could use for quilt backs. I got me some letters and some birds. The price for the letters (which is actually written numbers ) was a whopping $4.


And this is what I got out of it

A backing for the Moda Punctuation HST quilt

A new cover for the small ironing board I have next to my sewing machine

A little string bag


 And I still have enough left for more bags….


Post scriptum: I was unsure if the fabric quality would be too 'thin' but after a 40 degree wash and a good, warm tumble-dry it sort of 'thickened up' and worked perfectly as backing. It shrinks quite a bit...

    Yeah! My mom has curtains made out of this fabric. And in Euros the price sounds even better: 2,50 €. Do you think the quality is good enough for a quilt backing? Looks cool though!

    Great fabric! Too bad the Ikeas here in Toronto don't carry it.
