I guess now would be a perfect time to explain why that is my 'name'
Back to basenjis and years ago:
I had a couple of pet basenjis, and started to get into showing and breeding, for which I needed a kennel name. I'm a big flower gardener, basenjis have winkled brows, the word is used to described 'wrinkled' so my first show basenji was Rosa Rugosa (wrinkled leaves on a rose), call name Rosa. My second girl was Rugosa Rubra (red wrinkles, wrinkled leaves on a red rose) Wild, yet look appropriate in the proper garden. Hence, Rugosa!
I can't get the Rugosa out of my brain, so now all quilt labels contain 'made by Rugosa creations!
Wrinkled quilts?
I have a couple of Rugosa roses in my garden, and like you said, they are tough.
These are a couple of quilts I donated as prizes at our national a few years
