Storytelling Blankets

Katrin Rodegast's Soft Cover Quilt Tells Our Society's Story With Patches

This clever quilt is "quiltessential" to any quilter's collection.

Quilter Katrin Rodegast's Soft Cover Quilt is so much more than a cuddly cover; this thorough throw tells the story of our society. Katrin carefully crafted this quilt with the intention that it would serve as both a snuggly blanket and, more importantly, a neutral-stanced narrative. The quilt is covered in over 270 images that reflect the values and happenings of current society, ranging from Avatar characters and Osama Bin Laden to Colonel Sanders devouring drumsticks.

Although very interesting to look it, the quilt illustrates and defines our current state of being. It is speckled with current controversial events and silly icons. Katrin Rodegast's Soft Cover Quilt covers all that is happening in our society.
