    Default What quilt/quilts are on your bed?

    I change mine out every month so they all get a lungful of fresh air.
    I use two Jan-March, that is our cold season.

    This is Delectable Mountains, the first quilt I sent out, to a quilter in Montana. She quilted flames in gold metallic on the front and a neutral thread for the back.

    For the reverse side I'd cut a lot of 18" squares from fabric I was kind of tired of seeing, I think the back is as pretty as the front

    That's beautiful, Kalama!!!
    I also changed mine up. Right now I have a D9P, a Quatrefoil (Jenny Doan tutorial on youtube) and an antique double wedding ring.
    We have a King so I was happy that the Wedding Ring fits on it. They aren't usually that big in the vintage/antique category.

    That’s gorgeous Kalama!

    The only handmade quilt on a bed in our house is on the guest bed in my szewing studio, and that’s covered with a blanket, a piece of upholstery fabric and a doubled up old store bought quilt since my 70 pound furball likes to lay there while I’m working. It only sees the light of day when we have overnight guests since Bubba doesn’t get to perch there then. Our regular bed only has an inexpensive store bought quilt on it for the same reason.

    I have a Hanky Panky and a Cheaper by the dozen Christmas quilt on mine right now. Oh and a Garden Path for my fur baby to lay on. It's her quilt at night. She wraps up in it at night.

    Mine is my scrappy version of Bonnie Hunter's "Blue Ridge Beauty" which I named "Broken English". King size with wool batting, perfect for these cold winter nights. I finished this two years ago and I still stare at it sometimes and look at the various fabrics and remind myself "oh yeah - that came from XYZ quilt". I think the memories of past quilts is what I like best about this one.

    Interestingly enough ... I am now making Bonnie's new Mystery quilt "On Ringo Lake" and some of the scraps I am using are left over scraps that I got in trade from other QB folks when I made "Broken English".

    You can see the full version here Finished! "Broken English"

    Unfortunately 90% of the quilts I have made have been gifted so, for a quilter, I really don't have very many quilts at all! Like so many of us in the cold climates I have two on my bed for winter. Plus a down comforter! Yes I keep my house pretty cold and love lots of covers on in bed. The two that are on my bed now are "Shells washed ashore at Kanagawa" my Scrappy Asian Log Cabin clamshell quilt

    and my "Kitties Dancing with the Stars" (pattern is called Stardancer) quilt, which pretty much gets used year round.

    WOW, you are supposed to keep a quilt that you make? I have one on the wall (probably hasn't been appropriated by someone else because it's, well, nailed to the wall). I actually do have one on the guest bed, and a throw at the cottage.
