Billisa, great ingenuity. Key word: ruffles. Not chips, but drapes. Think of your shower curtain, with peaks and valleys, more ruffles means more surface area in less space to soak up sound. If your PVC structure can handle it, I would buy more blankets and scrunch em up. I do vocals in a 4x7 room with indian blankets pinned up to make as much different surface as possible.

I chose not to use the 't's and right angles because the supply house didn't have enough at the time.
The blankets don't hang on wire, they're just secured that way to the PVC.
For light I've been using a tiny fluorescent fixture affixed to the PVC with 2" clear tape.
Hmm... let's see if I can attach another picture. If not, then there won't be one.

I recollect 1 1/2" pipe. The blankets have some weight to them so I'd be careful about going with pipe that was too small.
Funny, I was watching some "behind the music" thing on VH1 and they featured the guy who sings "Your Body is a Wonderland..." (Don't know if that's the title). Anyway, they show him recording in a large Australian studio, and lo and behold, on the walls they have mover's blankets!!!

yeah, it's on my third floor that had a semi A-frame ceiling that I felt added a weird reflectivity to some vocals.
