This fun quilt was discovered at QuiltCon 2015.  Here's what the artist, Allison Chambers has to say about The Conan Quilt:

"I've been a fan of Conan O'Brien and his late night comedy since I was a teenager.  While watching his show I noticed a lot of his fans make artwork using his likeness and present it to him.  That's when the idea to make a Conan quilt hit me!  I took his logo, enlarged it and overlayed a grid so I could create his patchwork orange hair.  After sewing the patchwork, I cut out the outline of the hair and appliquéd it to the face and background.  The back of the quilt includes the words "TEAM COCO." I hope to make a trip to California to give it to him in person."
