This is my kitchen "table cloth". Actually, it's a handstitched quilt that my husband's grandmother made for him many, many years ago. I love the colors and the sentiment. Never fear-we don't eat on it! I believe this is called a crazy quilt. Someone correct me if I am wrong. Special names and places are stitched onto the quilt. I get so many compliments on my "table cloth".

That's an awesome quilt!
Beautiful quilt. I have a vague recollection of going to an old-fashioned quilting when I was no more than four or five years old -- one of those traditions that sadly you don't see much anymore.

So pretty. I love crazy quilts. They are my favorite kind because you don't have to follow a pattern. Just put the material where it 'feels' right.
Susan, what a creative way to display the quilt!
It is a beautiful quilt and a wonderful way to display it. I have a crazy quilt made by my great-great grandmother, but it is falling apart and may be past the point of repair. Quilts always remind me of the amazing women who built this country.
This is gorgeous. I love all the colors and the idea behind the quilt.
How beautiful!! I love quilts. Nice way to use it.
