Ricky made this amazing quilt and there is a story about the title. The runner up was hilarious.
Ricky named this after getting suggestions from a Facebook post that showed the image of the quilt. It is a “photo quilt” that Ricky made a few years ago based on a photo that he took. The quilt which measures 36” x 42” and the image was printed on one piece of fabric using a large-format printer. Then it was quilted. Aster wildflowers are very prolific in Colorado. Ricky put the image on Facebook and asked for names. He got tons of suggestions.
The name he chose was very clever: Asternoon Delight
The hilarious suggestion that Ricky uses as the subtitle is: Kiss My Aster

Inmates at the State Prison in Idaho spend their time making comfort quilts for grieving families. Using the laundryroom as their studio, a handful of prisoners work together.
"We design and put together things that are kind of cheery hopefully, and things that would appeal to the people," said inmate Walt Moore. "We just want them to have something that would be special in some way." - www.ktvb.com

Here are a couple more, but you need to tell us how you would complete the sentence.
You know you're a quilter if "fat quarters" doesn't reference the heaviest part of your body.
You know you're a quilter if you have a stash and it isn't "illegal."
You know you're a quilter if your ironing board is always up, but you never iron clothing.
Now it's your turn to complete the sentence, You know your a quilter if... in a comment below.

Alex recently had a wonderful chat with Mark Lipinski. Find out what's happening with the "bad boy" of quilting as he discusses his health crisis, how meditation helped him survive and changed his life. Mark also talks about the project he made for "Kidney Mary's" daughter's wedding and describes the saga of a quilt which had been "lost" for twelve years. Mark also wants you to know that he'll be auctioning off a number of his wordly goods on Ebay in a few weeks as part of his endeavor to simplify his life. He'd also like you to comment below on whether he should sell patterns for the cross stitch ring bearer's pillow he made as a gift.
Mark hosts a one-hour chat on his Facebook page every Sunday at 11 EST (not his fan page, but his regular page).
Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy!
