A couple of years ago, my hometown quilt shop, Needles, had a buy 2 yards, get 1 yard free sale (best 4-letter word in the English language), so I came home with 9 yards of this leafy fall fabric (and paid for only 6).
When I bought it, all I had in mind was making a gathered table skirt for my cutting/storage table. Of course that didn't take all 9 yards, so then I made curtains for the basement window,

then an ironing board cover (my wonderful husband had made me a big board),then a table topper,
then a table runner,
then a sewing stool cushion,
and finally a fabric bowl.
All of these items are in my basement sewing studio except for the fabric bowl. After I fill it with something yummy, it will be given to friends later today when we go visit them for dinner.

Wow, what a deal! I think you did an amazing job of utilizing that beautiful fabric. And if you ever want to change your decor, you can always use the fall fabric for a quilt :-)

WOW great use of a wonderful bargain! Did you enjoy your trip to the Lancaster Quilt Show?
9 yards is a lot of fabric!!!! Goes a long way :)
Now...do tell me how you got your photos to line up next to one another on your blog. Mine still won't do that....but I did get my template repaired....a bit of minor surgery required. No anesthetic however!!
