country quilt cover for klippan

it's refreshing to see a touch of country in this ikea hack, sent in by adline from malaysia. she used a patchwork quilt instead of the usual klippan slipcovers, with surprising results.

admittedly country is not my thing, though i can see this hack working for me with some other textured/patterned fabric. my concern though is keeping the cover taut and in place. because i'm such a neat freak and can't live with the messed up sofa look. guess i could staple-gun the ends.
