I was Inspired by this tablecloth. I "inherited" it from my Auntie Ted. Isn't it great! A simple cloth with Ric Rac trim and signatures from her closest family and friends, which she later embroidered.
See my signature? I'm guessing early 70's on my signature. My aunt was only 4 when she signed her name. Can you guess which one it is? 
So here's a little peak at what I decided to make! You must go take a better look at the Moda Bake Shop to see my Camping Quilt or Quilted Tablecloth. {I haven't decided how I'll use it.} I really like the weight and feel of it and thinking it would be a great camping quilt. I totally love how it turned out. 
Remember the backing? It's the fabric that Randi over at Fresh Squeezed Fabrics just happened to have in her Etsy shop. (because I totally goofed and needed some backing badly). Phew. So go take a peak and let me know what you think.
Happy Sewing!

I already left you a comment over at Moda Bake Shop, but I'm definitely going to have to make one of those. I love it.
I *love* this!! What a keepsake and so special that the names are embroidered now! :o) My mind is racing with wonder as to how I can make something so special! :o)

Love the tablecloth ... what wonderful memory keepsake. Great post ... thanks for sharing!
Great quilt! Will you have people signing it like your aunt did with the tablecloth? That's a wonderful family heirloom.
Well, how cool is that! I love the bright colors of the 9-patches and the fabric. Can't help but have happy campers around it!
What a great idea! I'm going to have to add this to my "to do" list.
It's lovely! I want to make one too. Thanks for sharing. Happy Sewing!
