On the westward trail or the frontier settlements, quilts were a means of both physical and emotional comfort. Thick quilts lined and covered wagons, padded fragile china, or became window covers or primitive shelters such as tents.

For this challenge create a quilt pattern on your layout. Also add some hearts.
Here is my example:

Hearts on the animal patterned paper! This is how my grandma made quilts. She took scraps of old clothes and such and just stitched them together. Somehow, they always look beautiful.
