Quilt as a door?

If you're going that far, you need to go one step further -- automatic overhead sprinklers that come on when the light is turned off, and wash down everything! LOL

Laminate the pages! LOL

The TP would be a little tougher to protect, I'll admit... :)

I like the way you think. hmmmmmm... could be done... Diana

For the toilet or the tushey? ;-) SueS

Either!!! :-)

Well gee, I had a brilliant idea! *that* doesn't happen too often Just seemed that a bathroom quilt door screamed outhouse :-)

They have a Public Toilet in San Francisco that DOES this. Cleans the ENTIRE room after each Patron. Showed the entire operation on one of the CA Shows. the commode flushes when you 'move'--then when the door closes after the person leaves--the toilet tilts back and the cleaning begins--showed the scrubbing brushes etc and then the final 'rinse' of the entire room....including the drain hole in the floor.

I just want my BATHROOM!!! It's a real pain having the shower in the laundry, takes up too much space and having the toilet at the farest room from the bedroom is worse!

When I lived in el Paso, we used them as curtains...and there was one quilt that hung over the existing door with a tie back for coming and going. Everytime there was a sand storm, you could literally put your hands to the adobe brick wall and feel the cement being knocked thru from the sand flying at 80 mph outside. the quilts blocked that. My sister in law has a ratty looking cream colored curtain over hers...which in my opinion is not thick enough for privacy. As for a quilted door....YES!! but....you will need at least two....so choose two different patterns. The reason my sister-in-laws' curtain is so ratty looking is because she can not was it as often as needed...so it gets crappy looking. When you take one door down...put the other one up. you would be surprised how often you feel the absolute urge to use the 'privy' the moment there's no privacy...and trust me a shower curtain just wont do then. By the way, just for the record...I have a quilted Christmas tree cuz we had no room for one, but we had a wall--we put it over the couch...put the gifts on the couch so it was 'under' the tree.' the window and door quilts....and my persistent project over the years, which has been put on hold until my furniture gets out of storage....a hand-quilted couch. [[I bought an antique couch and found out the fabric was made of rayon which I am allergic to...we striped the pillows and replaced the fabric, and ever since then that couch has become a quilt sampler...I wont be happy until the whole thing is a quilt]] quilt your whole world...you'll be happier!

But then it would have to auto-dry everything too, or I could see me going "A" over turkey on a very wet floor. Ask me how I know 0 I did it last week when the hose from the washer came loosse!

In one of the loos at the maternity unit where I had James, there was a loo with a built in bottom washer! Odd sensation, but great for us wot had stitches...

We have quite a lot of these in the UK. Sorta space capsule thingy, known as a 'super-loo'. Just don't ever get locked in one! You will come out wet and disinfected...

Kathy, I have two rooms with floor drains -- the laundry room and the garage.

I was thinking that if one didnt need a privy door quilt then perhaps one could make a quilt for another purpose that used a similar idea... for example.. I would love a set of open shelves to serve as a pantry to all the canned and boxed foods. It would be so fun to do a jar and box quilt with perhaps a spilled jar somewhere, with a guilty looking kitty near it.. looking pointedly away. A mouse on another shelf could be eyeing the cheese crackers. One could go another route and make the jars and boxes on the quilt hold things such as eye of newt, and ground liver of bat in the boxes...or the contents could be very exotic compared to the real ones.... The possibiltys are endless.. A shower curtain with a sillouette of a woman showering... make her look exactly like yourself.. well.. maybe not exactly..... A window curtain with a view that is better than the real one outside... A curtain to the laudry room that has a guy at a dry cleaning counter ??? Diana, taking an idea and running with it
