Today at a graduation party for a friend’s son, we saw a quilt that captivated my 11-year old grandson and interested me, too. This was a gift made for the graduate of fleece fabrics and personalized with fire fighter designs.

My daughter introduced me to the “ugly” quilt concept, although the quilt she made from these fabrics was fascinating. This was a project one of her online quilting groups became involved in.
