Brainstorm a 3-D Fantasy Chair Quilt!

This is a good project for any quilter who has ever dreamed of designing furniture, but might hurt themselves with a power saw. It's a 3-D chair-shaped chair quilt! Here it is on my back fence, with two cousins: 

There's batting inside, and the edges of the top and backing are all turned in 1/4" and sealed with a hand running stitch. 

It started a couple of weeks ago with a short trip to Europe, where I took pictures of interesting chairs. Back home, I did a lot of tracing, drawing, and redrawing of my photos, and brainstorming fantasy chairs. A late draft:

These were turned into blocks with fusible web, and a zig-zag to applique pieces to black/white/grey print rectangles. 

Several were directly inspired by vacation photos.  For example, inside a glacier, we saw this chair carved from the ice: 

My version: 

Lacy red cafe chairs: 

Became this: 

Chairs with backs like tree branches

My version: 

This was a train station bench, with an ad for an art exhibit atop it: 

It inspired the overall configuration of the quilt, plus this block, a sewing machine bench: 

...and an Ohio Star seat: 

Here's a thundercloud chair (the cloud is outlined with silver metallic thread, of course): 

A squid seat (with cushion):

A handy chair:

A plump purple paisley corduroy easy chair:

A breakfast chair:

And two chairs inspired by quilting motifs, a swirl chair:

 And a feather chair...

After making it, I discovered that, by pure serendipity, this quilt fits my parents' 1965-era Sears-Roebuck rocking chair almost perfectly!  Rocking chair before:

Rocking chair after: 

Much happier! If I attach ties to the quilt's back, I can hang it there permanently. I think I would first paint the rocking chair in bright colors - anything but Sears brown!

I added fun details, including 3/4" yo-yos (made with this tool, to ensure consistency, no financial affiliation) and cross-stitches in the seat cushion. 

The back incorporates a vintage fabric depicting old-fashioned, (OK, very tacky) furnishings....

Note that this fabric's seating only shows two legs each....

A good reminder that if you take on a chair quilt, you don't have to be literal with perspective - unless you want to be!

Although it's shaped unevenly, the quilt hangs well from just one rod along the top. However, if I were going to hang it on a wall permanently, I might add another rod sleeve just above the chair legs, to ensure they hang straight.
