I dont know of this ever being done, or how funny or even pretty it would be,
but my husband was telling me the other night he wanted me to make his father and step mother a quilt for there room. .
it would be all the same pattern.. but 3/4 would be in a manly color i.e. blue and 1/4 would be girly ie. pink
like a his and hers but of course "his" is the larger portion.
just a thought :-D

Did I read correctly that the smileys are a panel or a cut fabric. That is so funny.
Maybe a quilt similar to what I made my Mom this mother's day - she is obsessed with the Smiley Face.

I've been asked to make a silent auction item for a Humor to Beat the Tumor event put on by the American Brain Tumor Association, but I'm at a loss for ideas.
I've already lost 3 friends to brain tumors and 2 more are currently afflicted ... so I'd like to help raise $.
Thanks in advance for the help I know you'll give me.

How about a quilt made out of the "I Love Lucy" chocolate factory fabric. She always made me smile. There was an example of a Candy Jar quilt on here that I thought was really cute and who doesn't like candy? The Chicken and Eggs table runner that some have posted is cute and funny.
