The Warmth of a Quilt

           In the end, bringing warmth is what quilts are for.  It is a rare day when I am not pulling one, two, or even three quilts on top of myself in order to keep warm.  Even in the summer I do this as the temperature suddenly drops, making the house far colder than it was before.  Of course, I could always use a store bought blanket when this happens (and there’s nothing wrong with that), but for me, it doesn’t feel the same as when I use a quilt.  Somehow knowing the time and care it took to make the quilt, makes the quilt feel so much warmer than anything else I could possibly use.  Even if I am using a quilt I have made for myself.  The care it took to make it is part of what keeps me warm.
