A picnic quilt. Does this mean it reminds you of a picnic or you will be taking it on a picnic? I guess I'm too protective of traditionally made quilts but I just don't get it to put all that work and expense into a quilt and then abuse it with ketchup, mustard, hot dishes, spilled food or --heaven forbid--putting it on the ground and people walking on it. They sell vinyl tablecloths for picnic use or, if you really need a quilt for such an outing, buy one of those premade ones that some poor woman in a 3rd world country made and they sell for a pitance! IMHO
