    I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to quilt ribbons won as prizes, first, second, etc. I have a friend whose horse has won many ribbons and she would like them sewn into a wall hanging. Can anyone help?

    Craftybear, you are amazing. I have seen those quilts before, but have no idea how to find the pictures. By the way, do not try to make a quilt to use, only one for display. The ribbons are usually made of pretty fragile ribbon, not made to be laundered often. After all that work it would be a shame to have it fall apart.
