Quilt group looking for parade ideas!
Our park( 55 & over!) has a Mardi Gras parade each year & our quilt group of (20 - 30 ladies) need ideas on how we could participate. Some would be walking & some would ride in golf carts. Any suggestions on themes, decorations or costumes would be appreciated! This is just a short fun parade!

Colors for Mardi Gras Gold, Green and Purple themes.
Carry some wall hangings on poles, or attached to side frames of golf carts, or maybe a barn quilt block?.
Wear Vests and other clothing made in Patchwork styles.
Make some small pincushions to toss to the crowd?

Since it is Mardi Gras, what about the walkers carry patchwork umbrellas with fun tassels? I would just make some kind of temporary cover since it is only one day. Maybe make some cute doggy coats for those with pets?

beads are always being thrown/worn during the parades so maybe make some fabric bead necklaces with a mardi gras theme.
