How about one of those cinema/movie strip layouts?
Maybe quilt spider webs around the border?
Love the name too. Sara

That is such a wonderful and funny name for the quilt. Great idea.

I think that it will be fun to make and fun to give out on Christmas morning.

Hi! I'm new here but couldn't help responding to this one:) I made my grandson a bug quilt a few years ago. The fabric was along the line of a bug's picnic. I'm not great at quilting but had lots of fun piecing and planning it. My bug fabric was had a fairly large pattern so I didn't want to lose it in small pieces. I put a flannel backing on it with more bugs. Photo attached ( if it works)

This won't be until next year, Christmas 2011, because my big thing this year to make, is a quilt for a friend with Golden Retrievers. She was, maybe is? still active in showing and breeding, but we live in a part of northwest Ohio that suffered damage from a tornado in June. It completely destroyed a high school, the next district over, on graduation day. So sad, but makes me so proud of the area and their willingness to help.
Anyways, her house was damaged and they were having trouble with the insurance company, but we just drove by it yesterday and I see the house is now leveled, so that means they're getting new. My plan is surprise them with a quilt with the Golden fabric I have in my stash, that I'm sure I bought for her. We were very lucky, house not touched, they were not, and deserve something new and cuddly and proof that people care.

M.E.H.

You might like the Attic Window pattern for your bug quilt.

How about applique blocks of beds head board/footboard.. the bug fabric could be the quilts?

I LOVE your theme :lol::lol::lol: You could use the saying "Don't let the bed bugs bite" as the quilting throughout the quilt, or in the borders :wink:

Maybe adapt a bee applique, change the wings a bit, elongate the body and use the bug fabrics for the bugs?

I should try making a turtle quilt for my mom. Where she is bedridden she wedges down to the foot of the bed and crawls(turtles) back to the head. She says she's turtle.
