Moquette Offcuts wanted!!!

Hi all,

I wondered if anyone had any moquette offcuts (both original Routemaster style and other patterns)they would be willing to sell/donate to me?

If there is any reasonable size off cuts that aren't big enough to make a seat i'd love to get my hands on them for a sort of art project.

I am looking to use them as a sorta patchwork quilt, with a waterproof backing (I say 'I am' I actually mean the misses will make for me; I'm not allowed to touch her Sewing machine haha). I'm looking to use this as a ground sheet/large picnic blanket when I take my bus to events (bit late in the season i know so planning ahead for next year).

I look forward to any replies

My bus number (if any): RMF2771 (Formally RCN701)

Hi Matt

I can bring a piece of more modern, non-Routemaster moquette to RM60. Would a foot square be enough? I am cutting it off a new role that has had a sample cut already.

Rest of the roll for sale if anyone wants a bargain.

Re: Moquette Offcuts wanted!!!

David,

any pattern, any size will do, (as long as the off cuts are not so tiny you can't stitch them together)

The more different patterns i have the better, doesn't have to straight cut either as i'll just fit it all together randomly!
