Q is for...

Quilts!

Z&L w quilt

One thing about our house - we may be cold, but we never will want for something to curl up under. We each have a grandmother who quilts, and as a result have several beautiful handmade quilts. All different sizes, some more casual and can throw in the wash, some heirloom-type and needing more care. Two are full size, and cover the bed, some are twin size and will reside in the guest room, when we ever get a house that has one, and some are throw-blanket size and live on the couch in the living room. I love them all. It's a special touch, knowing that it's a blanket someone made specially for you, not just something purchased off the shelf somewhere.

PS - If you were wondering about the pictures above, they've each got quilts there in the background.
