Last Sunday one of my besties, Amanda, and I went to the Reedly Ca. quilt show. Lots of beautiful quilts. One of the things that I really like about going to smaller local quilt shows is there are quilts there that are made for beds. Not just art quilts, which are beautiful, but quilts you actually sleep under. Those are the kind I like to make. A quilt that keeps you warm on cold nights or comforts you like a hug on a bad day. I make them to be used.
Here are some pictures of my favs. from the show.
This one is made from denim with patches sewn all over it. This must weight a ton! I may do this with my collection of patches. I have been sewing them on a backpack for years and have run out of room on it.
Really like the colors in this one. The picture does not do it justice. And it was king sized.
It would be so fun to make a quilt with the US map on it for our travel trailer. I could put a star or heart on each state that we have traveled to.
