I wanted to share possibly the BADDEST quilt on earth or at least it is in my mind. Im fortunate enough to have to travel the mid west maintaining power plants. The states of Kansas Nebraska Iowa and the majority of Missouri. My wife sewed together scraps from welding caps she has made over the years to make up the 16 blocks on the front. She makes them and I sell them to my fellow craftsmen and craftswomen at work. I will add more pictures but they truly do not due this work of art any justice. So she sewed the individual blocks then green border, than grey border and tied them all together with black. Now she had the quilting out sourced as she has neither the equipment or space However she has the knowledge and skill. I Love you Babe. The reason i wanted a quilt was 2+ years ago i hired on a job site in Lansing Iowa for night shift it was the first of January and of course it was all outside work. It was -20 my first night there. I agreed to share a corner cabin with a gent from Montana who had 2 quilts his grandma had made him years ago. Our cabins heater didnt work very good. In fact it really sucked so we boiled water on the stove as an alternate heat source. After working in the cold all night the last thing u want is to be cold at the room. He shared a quilt which was a true life saver. 2 years later i GOTS my own. Thanks to my wonderful beautiful artistic talented wife It is my new prized possession. Hope you all enjoyed the pics and the literature
