I need a bedspread for my bed in the truck. I can't find anything I like. All bed spreads are light in weight, puffy and don't lay down right. So, I want a quilt made. I have a quilt already for a blanket and a goose down blanket. I like a heavy covering over me.

If you know someone here is what I want.

Twin quilt. 66" W x 86" L
The front side I want in the color "Wine". It can be a pattern but must be prominently wine in color.

The backside color to be a sand color and can be a solid piece of material in cotton also.

I want each section to be approximatly 4"x4" square and sewed around the edges and in an X pattern.

I want the material to be heavy quality cotton along with the filling.

If anyone can make this or know someone that can I would appreciate it. I would like it mailed home when done. I can either send a check, credit card or paypal.

I am open to suggestions. All my cabinets and draws are wine in color

If you ever run around Amish country this fall you could try there. I see the signs for them along PA 100 headed towards Reading. I tried my hand at quilt making. I finally finished after 7 years. :shock: It's heavy with a flannel backing. The ones I have seen in Amish country will cost you $500 and up.

I'm not willing to spend $500 from those people. I'm looking for a quilt made by just a normal person. Not something made from the horse hair of a Palomino horse used in the attack on Troy and 6,000,000 stitches per inch.

The one I have now came from Bed Bath and Beyond and is really nice but not in the color I want so I use it as a blanket under my quilt.

Thanks but no wine colors and they don't even look like a traditional quilt with the 4x4 sown squares.

I'll ask around here...there are a lot of "artsy" types in this area. I think I know what you are talking about. I would offer (because I love to quilt) but, like the pp, I don't think you want to wait 7 years for a quilt. I have 4 started right now!!

Thanks. Yes, your right, I don't want to wait and would like it done sort of quickly.

I was hoping that a whole bunch of grandmothers sitting around doing nothing would come across this post as they googled the word "Quilt" and instantly jumped into action.

There was a Lady on www.loads.org that used to quilt for the trk..

You might go there and post of the Home Connection forum...

If she's still posting maybe she or one of the other crafty ladies would have an idea that could get u a quilt...
