brainstorming christmas parade float ideas
I own a quilt shop and am thinking my float in the christmas parade this year will read something like "Baby, it's cold outside....so grab a quilt" or "baby, it's cold outside...cuddle with a quilter" Got any other ideas or how to decorate a float like that??

How about "Baby, it's cold outside ... cuddle up with a quilt"? I like the idea of having "cuddle" in there, but for me the second one conjures up a picture of me watching the parade and someone I don't know coming up to me trying to cuddle. Probably not what most people are getting out of it, but it was what came to my mind when I read it.
For the visual, I think it'd be cute to have dogs and cats sleeping on top of quilts. Or maybe reindeer since it's for Christmas.

How big is your float? How much space/landscape do you want/need to fill?
Will you have humans on it? Moving parts?
How cold is it (usually) at the time of the parade
How many units (usually) in the parade? Is it a big deal in your area?

If you could have an older person wrapped in a quilt on a chair near a fireplace, then have a young couple
walking around on the float, then find a quilt and cuddle up in it. I would have quilted stockings, a quilt
above the fireplace, and maybe more around, or nice fabric to make a quilt. You could staple (I hate to
staple) fabric and a pattern to show them you have both. Good luck with it!
