Hey! I like that idea! A car quilt that collects patches from my travels....

Me, I occasionally make small quilts like 70x70... I also have made a couple smaller and rotate them with others that I have acquired and hang them on the wall in my bedroom. I rotate about 4 a year there. The others don't go to waste as even here in California, the nights get cool and couch / lap quilts are welcome. tim in warm warm warm san jose.
