For some time, I've been collecting club patches, with the intent of making a display quilt of them to take to shoots and let everyone see what other clubs/groups are doing. Well, there are few great ideas that haven't been thought of before :^)
This is a pic from the latest Muzzle Blasts magazine of just such a quilt, made from muzzle loading shoot patches...

I'm a little over one fourth of the way to having the 84 patches I want for the quilt I have planned. You can see my patches at:

If anyone wants to add one of their club patches to the collection, it would be more than welcome.
Incidentally, I quilt on a trad machine... an 1889 Singer...

Make sure you post pics when its done. My wife is very interested in this. I got her shooting a Toelke Whip and even out hunting with it. She is a big quilter and am hoping she makes me a trad themed quilt one day.
That is a great idea. My grandmother made me a similar quilt out of Boy Scout neckerchiefs many years ago. It still gets lots of attention to this day, and is very special to me.
How is the quilt coming Dick?
