So, what am I doing blogging about a quilt? Because my signature is on one of those white pieces. And on white pieces you will find signatures from people like George R.R. Martin, Carrie Vaughn, Charlie Stross, Shaun Tan, China Mieville, Trudi Canavan, Rob Shearman, Paul Cornell, Kim Stanley Robinson…and some ninety or so other SF/F writers and artists.

Conquilt was assembled by Rachel Holkner and award-winning quilter Jeanette Holkner. It is based on the pattern ‘Tribble Trouble’ (Yeah, those tribbles!) by Martha Thompson. It measures 152 cm x 192 cm with a 5cm diameter rod pocket on the back for easy display.
How interesting. Not that I personally would buy a quilt. Don't actually like them. They are a big "thing" here in Ontario. Of course it would make a difference having the signatures on, something of a rarity.
Actually right now they are raffling a quilt downstairs in the lobby of our building.
I love quilts. I'll be bidding,
