Last month I broke and crushed the outside bone of my right foot, and have been bedridden and house bound ever since. While lying on my back and staring at the homely 50's ceiling with squares, I thought of a geat? idea. I'll make a ceiling quilt. One that I can attach to a 10' X 11' frame and hang it from my celing..Has anyone seen or heard of a quilt made for a ceiling? what pattern would be best? Maybe "Trip around the world" in pastel colors?

My dentist puts quilts in his ceiling tiles. I love it. When getting my teeth cleaned I have something to concentrate on!!!

So sorry about your foot. Get well soon. How about a memory quilt so you could look at your family, friends, flowers or whatever else excites you.

How about a scrappy?

When I worked for an Ob/Gyn we had posters on the ceilings of the exam rooms. Some were tropical scenes, one was a large crossword puzzle. I think you have a neat idea about a ceiling quilt. Just decide what you want to look at. Let us know what you decide.

I went to an antique store that actually put feed sacks as quilt blocks on the ceiling. Personally I think that was a waste of a good feed sack :o).

I havent heard of one, but it sounds like a great idea! Hope your foot is getting better!

Can you piece the squares and have dh attach them to the tiles? You wouldn't even have to quilt them that way. Sounds like a cool idea to me.

Hey, quilts can go anywhere!

Love your idea!

I think it would look great!
like those antique copper metal ceiling tiles, they always had a pattern to them.

What a great idea for all those who are bed ridden, in nursing homes and etc.!!!

Hi, I feel your pain-literally-1994 was the year it happened to me. Have you thought about doing some handpiecing? Even a small project would help pass the time. feel better!!

hope you are feeling better,

Do you enjoy hand piecing? take care of yourself

awww, bless your heart. I know that is a bummer. I've had a bum foot since 1979 and it ain't no fun, indeed. But, I've never been bed ridden with it. I hope you get better real soon nd do everything your doc says do.

Quiltinggranny had a great idea though. I do eldercare and that would be a wonderful thing for nursing home residents or anyone that is confined. Wall paper idea? you can hang it (and I don't know why since you paste it, it is called hanging.)from the ceiling, too. Even 12 inch block sections would be great. QG you've got my mind spinning. hahaha Take care of yourself, galatotesa.
Blessings,

A possible thought. Use liquid starch to "glue" it to the ceiling. When you want to remove, it comes off easily.

Interesting idea. I like the idea of hand piecing.

Sounds interesting and as mentioned.. do the blocks and attach to the block tiles! Do you hand piece/quilt. Thinking you could do that while you recouperate.. Sorry to hear of your broken foot.. Get better soon.
