At the church I used to belong to, when a couple was getting married all of us girls would each make blocks and put together a nice quilt for them. For one of the weddings, it was decided the men should make a quilt for the groom, who is a ferrier and blacksmith. The guys were amazingly creative...I wish I had a picture of it. It had everything from burlap and leather to horseshoes and barbed wire on it, and got a great laugh at their wedding dinner!
